Apple moves past Acer in PC sales

[drhowarddrfine]

Move into third place (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/07/16/apple_passes_acer_to_become_third_largest_u_s_pc_vendor.html) behind Dell and HP.

It would be interesting to know where home-built and locally-built machines fall, considering that barebones machines are a hot seller on many sites.

Can we create a separate "Bash Microsoft" forum here and make drhowarddrfine its moderator? :p

It's all just starting to become a broken record or a boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome: the data may be valid - if very biased in its presentation - but come on, give us a break and discuss something else once in a while.

I would definately assist!

But really Nog, his post doesn't mention m$ just manufacturers.

Why not? I wouldnt mind posting in that forum :p

Apple, for a considerable while, has been more of a fashion statement over here. However Leopard is more ahead of vista IMHO and tools like bootcamp offer flexibility for those not willing to abandon windows just yet.

I remember just 3 years ago getting laughed at for saying Firefox and Opera were better browsers than IE. I was told I was just a fanboy, anti-Microsoft, etc. "Code to IE only, little boy," I was once told.

If everything posted about other vendors is considered "anti-Microsoft", then nothing would be posted that wasn't about Microsoft.

Like I said, it's not that I disagree, I just think people stop listeining when you keep bombarding them. But mostly I just wanted to yank your chain a bit. :p
