AlienForce1 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Can (do) you believe that ? Ratio of PCs sold over Macs drops to 1985 levels - at least this is what an analyst from Asymco claims (looking only at computers sales) : The ratio was about 20 to 1 in 1985 following the 1984 launch of the first Mac. From there, the ratio went through some ups and downs for a good 10 years until around 1996, when it moved up to 15 to 1 and then started to rise every year. PCs continued to enjoy a huge and growing demand over Macs through the next several years as the ratio hit a high of around 55 to 1 in 2004. But then the gap started to narrow. From a ratio of less than 45 to one in 2005, the gap continued to drop each year until reaching a low of around 20 to 1 last year, as narrow as it was in 1985.

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 3, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 3, 2012 Another crappy news story from cnet, afterall, they are being paid heavily by Apple (not joking, seriously). This sums it all: They shot up 26% from the NOTHING they had previously. Their OS still about 5% PC market share. Don't make it sound so Herculean. Even Vista has more marketshare than MacOS. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho-gHo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The source is a Horace Dediu -- writer of a blog and Mac Apps -- not somebody I would trust for factual information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
