Let’s consider for a second that iPad is considered a personal computer, which in my opinion it is. (Definition of personal computer is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer operator, a iPad is a general-purpose computer, it’s size is useful, it’s capabilities are of a PC, and it’s sales price is reasonable). Anyway, an iPad is a personal computer. The market share of Apple is 25%. 25% of the worlds computers are shipped by Apple. That is a HUGE amount. That is Apple at work. Whats even more great is that other companies market shares are DECLINING! Apple is already the #1 computer company in the world, #2 most valuable company in the world. It has been ahead of Microsoft for a year or more. Apple share is going up while other computer companies are going down. Well Apple IS the best. Feel free to comment!
Thanks for reading,

I’m not sure what is the source of your information. According to Washington Post Apples worldwide market share is 5.2% as of Nov/2011.

Bob, please note that with the addition of the iPad into the play, then market share is 25%, to me and my source the iPad IS considered a desktop
However Bpb I will thank you for your input and I will say that if the iPad is excluded then you are right however again, the iPad IS a Personal Computer since it fits the criteria of a PC
