'>Actually it is 1 out of every 4 machines is a Mac. Which is actually a

How is Dataquest that far off? By your own admission the PC has an
inordinately high marketshare in business. A 70+% marketshare for the
home market. 50% of the edu market. It loses the niche graphic design
market. That isn't dominant?
