Apple’s Market Share Will Get Bigger

He cited Charles Wolf of Needham and Co.’s analysis that by 2011 Apple’s world wide share would have grown to 5% from a dismal 1.9% in 2005.
Do I agree with this article? Yes! I do think however that this number is to conservative. With the release of the Intel based Macs, the popularity of the iPod plus the stagnant state of Windows development, I forsee that Apple’s market share will increase much more significantly and at a more rapid rate.
Why do I say this? Well just in the past week I’ve managed to convince two friends to convert to Macs. They both bought the Macbook. I know this isn’t scientific but it’s a growing trend. People just want things to work. They were afraid to try the Mac before because of fear of not being able to run Windows program that makes up for majority of the software available. However with the Macs ability now to boot Windows via Bootcamp, they now have a safety net.
Check out the article for yourself. It’s an interesting read.
