Apple now at 6% US market share

[Jesús Díaz Blanco]

Anecdotal evidence, but two friends of mine just bought two MacBooks  
today (black). Another bought an iMac 20. All of them had PCs before.

I just published a two page article on the iMac 24 in a magazine,  
talking about the benefits of having Mac OS X while knowing that you  
can fall back to Windows XP if you need to. Although you don't really  
need to, of course. I think many people is learning about Boot Camp  
and this is somehow "freeing" their minds to go Mac. And the price,  
of course. The iMac 24 is incredibly well priced, knowing that a  
screen of that quality and technical specs will cost you about 1.000  
euros here. And on top of that, In Windows, their benchmark  
performance is in line with all the Core 2 Duo we have tested.

IMHO, Apple should include a Windows-settings-mail-music-docs-movs- 
whatever-thingies-sucking-program to work vía FireWire-USB-Ethernet  
as part of Mac OS X, just like the current "upgrading from another  
Mac?" thing.
