Interresting ….
my G4 cube still runs the newest Photoshop and Other grfx apps with no problem. It runs the newest OS better than ever. Unfortunatly I cannot play the newest games, but soon I will upgrade my GPU (32 or 64 mg RAM, Im not sure yet) Ill be able to get another 2 years for myself, and 3-4 for my kids. TCO is what keeps Apple’s “marketshare” so low, If Mac users switched as often as PC users, we would average 5% at least.
Also how many of that 95% is in sales of 10 or more to corporations and businesses?
Apple has close to 20% in education, 65% in grafx media, what is the % of home users vs non-media related businesses?
Randy, where do those numbers come from?
The delays in shipping G5 chips must be hurting Apple. I know it’s hurting me. I ordered an iMac G5 from the store on Sept 25th and still haven’t received a shipping date. Nothing special in my order except the wireless bundle.
From several sources, and some personal analysis.
The 49% 30% is from actual ships of PC and Macs
vers what is estimated in publication of the ‘active’
for each.
the 25% 40% is also from two PC publications that have two different estimates of replacements %
The others are from resent announcements
