>The company does not exist in a vacuum. It's part of a vast, competitive landscape where Apple is far from the leader in desktop and laptop PCs. But it's bucking the current downward trend where PC market leaders are slipping quarter over quarter.
>Apple just reported a record 5.7 million Macs sold in the last quarter; over the past 12 months, it's sold more than 20 million Macs — more than any other year. Late last year, IDC reported Apple's U.S. PC market share had grown to more than 13 percent.
>Schiller, however, told me that estimate was conservative.
>"There are endless numbers of stats out there, you can quote any of them to tell any story, but the number that closest reflects what we all experience and see as we travel around is actually a U.S. market share approaching 25 percent," he said. "That closer reflects what we see when we go to the airport, when we go to the coffee shop, when we go to schools. You increasingly are seeing more Macs than PCs."
>Schiller’s perception, though, is accurate. NPD analyst Stephen Baker confirmed those market-share numbers, which represent retail and consumer sales (including those in Apple Stores). It does not include sales to enterprise customers, through resellers and large OEMs. In the NPD data, which tracks sales and not shipments, the company is still behind HP, but Apple has been "slowly gaining share on Windows and the Windows brands," according to Baker.
