They are in the same market, in much the same way that Burger King and
Arby's are in the same market even though they make two entirely different
products.  For the most part, money spent on a Mac is money that is not
spent on a PC, and vice versa.  The decision to buy a Mac would be
independent of the decision to buy a PC (other than total household or
company budgetary concerns, such as when you decide to buy a computer
instead of a VCR because you can only afford 1 of them at the time), and
that is very rarely the case.
