   Just a quick observation, and corect me if I'm wrong, but...   
      
   If the market is increasing at a faster rate that the increase in   
   Apple's sales, wouldn't the figures show a decrease in market share?   
   Sure, if the market wants to count 100 machines, and Apple sells 5 of   
   them, that's 5%, but if the market is now 200 computers, and Apple sells   
   8, that's now a market share of 4%.   
      
   Simply an observation from a CS major, and not a business major :)
