Apple doesn't have a huge number Mac users anyways.

  It's around 80 million installed base and 10% market share. Sounds like a lot to me.

    10% is insignificant. Apple has always been a nonplayer in the desktop/laptop world dating back decades.

      10% is insignificant. Yeah, I used to say the same thing back when Apple was dying in the late 90's and a colleague pointed out it'd be great to own a business that's only generating $2B annual revenues. Our company at the time was generating $60M in annual revenues and we thought we were the shit. And market share is a bad determiner for influence. Apple has always been the mindshare leader in the desktop/laptop world dating back decades. They had a brief spell in the 90's when they were losing their mojo. It could be happening again now that Steve is gone. We'll see.

        15-20 years is not a brief spell. Apple products were complete shit during all of the 90s, then they came out with the ugly POS jelly Bean imac. They were absolutely not a mindshare leader in that era and as for desktops they don't even rank as an afterthought, for laptops they slightly register. Steve jobs matches apple perfectly, overstated in importance and overrated.
