Apple increasing market share, fact or fiction?

This is an interesting one. the people who know a bit about what computer they are using are likely to make the switch with the ability to run windows when necessary. but the mass market are the people who are only interested in keyboard, mouse, monitor and "box thingy with me gubbins in it". lol that last bit really is a quote.

 

I have been telling people that i will be getting a mac and they are saying "thats nice, whats a mac?" or "is apple another pc manufacturer?, what version of windows do they use?"

 

I think converting the masses is gonna be a hard job.

 

It will be nice to get other peoples experiences on what their friends say about them owning or thinking of converting to a mac.

You mean they don't play those Mac commercials every commercial break 24/7 like they seem to here in Canada? :o

 

Everybody is going to know what a Mac is, but that song is gonna drive them crazy eventually. :P

lol this is how it usually goes for me:

 

"you should get a mac because it has a better OS"

 

"but what if i want to run windows programs?"

 

"then install windows"

 

"then whats the point of having a mac?"

 

quite annoying.

 

I don't think most people understand how much easier it is, or that you can do nearly everything on a mac (cept games, and some business apps? idk bout bussiness).

 

common (mis)conceptions:

 

price

compatibility

don't know why its better

 

i get in about 2 -3 mac vs not-mac arguments with my friend. I think he is starting to see the light ;)
