Macs Not as Popular As Fanboys Think

For Mac fans, there is good news and bad news coming out today from analyst Gene Munster of investment bank Piper Jaffray. The most notable aspect of Apple's skyrocketing popularity is the fact that the company shipped 2.16 million Macs in the third quarter of this year. The part of the analyst's report that might give some Mac fanboys a bit of perspective is even with that tremendous surge in sales, Apple's market share constitutes a mere 3.2% of the worldwide PC market. More remarkable news is that Apple's share of the worldwide computer market was 2.5% six months ago, so there was a 28 percent increase in market share in half a year. Even so, something's fishy about these figures.
