Does # of units sold = market share?
Consider this! 100 people in a room of which 95 buy a wintel box and the remaining 5 buy mac gear. 12 months later 92 of the original 100 purchase a new wintel box while only 2 of the original 100 purchase a new mac box. The remaining 6 computer users continue using last years model. Has the mac market share droped? Probably not, but it might suggest that apple computers are a better investment and remain useful for a longer period.
