I have no doubt Macs do a nice job with video editing and few other things, but thats about it. Heck, Apple wouldn't even have a good productivity suite if Microsoft had not of coded one for Apple.
And Apple has what, 4% of the PC market?  Sorry but please let me know where, "Macs are in many businesses"...maybe yours but thats about it  |
The end user could care less about market share he just wants to get some work done with as little hassle as possible. I've heard the arguments about how much software is avaliable. Again all the average user usually needs is a word processor an E-mail program internet access and a few other odd an ends. When he goes out to buy a computer I don't believe he or she ask a saleman what's it's marketshare. he just wants to get some work done. But in the end I guess Steve Jobs said it best
"Apple's market share is bigger than BMW's or Mercedes's or Porsche's in the automotive market. What's wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?
Oh and by the way; In 2003 Macintoshes were used by 83 percent of graphic designers, 77 percent of corporate design departments, and 65 percent of ad agencies. In 2005 that number has grown thanks to the G5.
