*That’s much better than the Windows operating system, being “maxed out” and having nowhere to go but down, down and down... :-)

“Slow and steady as she goes...”*

There’s no real reason to think that the trends will continue. Either way, there is a point above which Apple will not be able to increase market share and that is when they hit the wall that is large business. No way will any organization of any size want to fork over huge amounts of money to swap hardware and operating systems—the only large organizations I can think of that embrace Apple are schools, which makes little sense since they typically are cash-strapped to begin with. I’ll leave it to your imagination as to why any school would choose to run Macs rather than a vastly cheaper OS.

Apple fills their niche well, but I sincerely doubt they will ever get within sniffing distance of 50% of the market.

You were saying ...

Oh..., I've heard those kinds of comments for years now... LOL And yet, Apple keeps growing, keeps making more money, keeps on being successful and keeps grabbing more of that marketshare...

I think it's more like there are some people who don't like Apple's success... not too much more to that story, I don't think... :-)
