Mac market share continues to climb

Well look here ! Apple's market share of the desktops is now over 10% and Apple shipped a record number of Mac's last quarter. Now while most Windows zealots would say that Windows still has a 90% share, what we have here is the realization that OS X is in fact a better OS than Vista or XP. Rather than look to fix Vista Microsoft offers Jerry Seinfeld millions of dollars to help promote Vista. What we have here is a failure to communicate !!!





Apple should send the people in Redmond a nice big gift basket for their failure with Vista surely has to be a big reason for a lot of people switching to Mac's. Not that I am shortchanging the Apple development team for producing the best OS in the world, but when you can't find what you want at home surely you will outside.

Recently a colleague of mine switched to a MAC and he loves it. He is using is Mac to do some video podcasting to support his BLOG. This author had stated awhile back that I thought more people would switch to the Mac as a result of the new iPhone and iTunes and in fact that is happening as well. What surprises me is that even in a down economy more and more people are still laying out big bucks for Macs despite $499 deals for entry level Vista PC's. What Microsoft hasn't learned is that people want quality and are willing to pay for quality not mass market products that have more bugs than the KGB !

Rumors are persisting that Apple is going to introduce new Mac Books, iPods and iMac's (faster chips) in a couple of weeks. The iPhone, despite it's problems, still rocks and there is also rumors of a new iTunes on the way. Microsoft has lost their way and is in desperate need of a CEO who can both lead, be passionate and is a visionary. Hey, maybe they can offer the job to Steve Jobs? Nahh..why should he take a step down??
