For the three-month period ending March, the Mac maker
registered a 2.6 percent global share, up from 2.5 percent
during the December quarter and from 2.1 percent during the
year-ago quarter.

"Due to Vista's January 30 release and the PC sales that
resulted from pent-up demand after its lengthy delay, we
expected a slight sequential downtick in Mac market share,"
said Gene Munster, an analyst with investment bank
PiperJaffray & Co."But strong Mac sales in Apple's March
quarter enabled the company to gain share despite stronger
than normal PC sales."

The analyst expects year-over-year market share gains to
continue for the Cupertino-based company on a quarterly
basis, especially as it enters three quarters of significant
product releases (iPhone, Leopard, new iPods) and the
educational buying season (July).

Wow... just imagine what would happen if Apple actually focused on the
Mac.

:)

Don't you mean "focused more" on the Mac?

Diversification has it's downside.

No, no... I have read in CSMA that Apple no longer is focused on the Mac.
You don't mean to tell me that folks in CSMA were wrong! :)

The Winnuts anyway...
