Hmmmm what? What exactly is there to ponder here? It's quite simple
actually.
PC sales slowed from 16% to a 10% growth rate and had annual sales of
70 million units in 2006.
Mac sales grew at a 30% rate to 5.25 million units in 2006.
So discounting systems that were taken out of service, there were 70
million new PC's added and 5.25M new Macs added. Sure the PC's have a
slower growth rate but the basis for the growth rate is much higher to
begin with.
Tell me John, sometimes you seem intelligent but then you spew out
nonsense like this which makes you look stupid. Are you really this
dense or are you simply trying to suck-up to the Linux crowd?
