Computers? As in Desktop computers and laptops worldwide?
I can't find current numbers but i wouldn't think that Apple has reached a global market share for desktops over 10%.
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system...
Thats what i meant. Now tell me that in _this_ area Apple is exactly worth as much as MS. MS doesn't produce computers, so the comparison is not fair. But that's why i said i would want to see the numbers for all the departments of MS and Apple.
Also, the global market share for smart phones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone
You surely don't want to know the numbers for mobile phones in general.
- megablast 16y agoWow, you are quick. He said profit, not market share. For example, Apple maybe only sell 2-3% of the entire mobile handset market, but make more profit out of any Mobile company. They make more money than Nokia, who sell 100x as many phones.
- jcooney 16y agoGood point....like how MS's profit/revenue ration (in 2009 anyway) was ~28% vs. ~18% for Apple http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/04/09/the-money-made-by-microsoft-apple-and-google-1985-until-today/ http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/04/09/the-money-made-by-micros...
- buster 16y agofor the hundreds time now. That's why i want to see the numbers. I am writing since the first comments now, that the most interesting information would be numbers. But we don't know them...
