Thread: Windows PC to Apple Mac sales ratio been falling and is now approaching 1985's level

  1. #1

    Default Windows PC to Apple Mac sales ratio been falling and is now approaching 1985's level

    In a chart posted on Twitpic Monday, Asymco's Horace Dediu shows that the multiple of PCs sold to Apple Macs sold has been falling steadily since it peaked in 2004 and is approaching the ratio of 1985.

    I found this interesting, the article reckons the ipod, itunes and the iphone are all contributers to Microsoft's steady decline. Even though I hope that one day macs will outsell microsoft pc's, I know that apple's focus will always be the best and not necessarily the most.

    Looks legit

    Awww, what's the point of being in a cult if everybody wants to join?

    It makes you want to grow a neckbeard and install Linux.

    If they're talking US sales only then I can believe them, but worldwide? I have my doubts.
