It was a cold, cold month for Microsoft, as the NPD numbers for PC manufacturer sales reported a much larger chunk of the market share for Steve Jobs and his Apple computers. The latest NPD numbers indicated that Apple had a 60% increase year over year for February. This could be a reason for celebration.
Is it safe to assume their numbers correlate to MacBook Air sales and poor Vista numbers? Or maybe that was the plan all along. Make Apple think they’re winning, but then show up at their Christmas party with a bottle of laxative.
Watch your back, Billy.

First Doc and Lono are mocking Mac gamers on the podcast…then Matt hails to the glory of Apple…what’s up with that? Top it off with Lono buying his MUCH lambasted PS3. Is hell freezing over…or is this the John Kerry school of journalism?

Least he got panned for protesting the war, not skipping it.

It’s not that I’m for Apple, but I hate Vista. More so Microsoft’s push for it to replace XP (ala DX10). I don’t want to be forced to use an inferior product.

wow, relevent comment Tweep, I’ll bet you’re not an idiot [ /sarcasm ]
Yeah appple is growing in numbers, but I don’t think the strict rules Mr. Jobbs has about pricing and allowing people to upgrade their own systems will forever alienate apple from the PC hotrodders and the large corporate buyers, the two combined make up a HUGE chunk of the personal computer market.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Microsoft and Apple, and I’m planning on converting one of my computers to linux later this year, I just don’t ever see Apple owning the market majority

Did you miss the John Kerry comment? Or am I an idiot for professing a view that might be different from your own? Always love it when people attack the person and not the view they express, but that’s alright, I’m an idiot.

Tweep, your first comment had nothing to do with the article, and I never said I dis-agreed with you
speaking of having to do with the article, neither did your second…
now to be sure that I don’t fall into my own category of irrelevant
The real story for apple is on the iPhone. This is the first time I’ve seen a pocket PC that doesn’t suck. I’m honestly considering changing cell carriers to jump on the iPhone band wagon, and that’s one thing all the palm treos in the world couldn’t do
