    Apple repre­sents something like a “usa­bi­lity elite.”
    That is, peo­ple for whom the ove­rall com­pu­ting expe­rience is more impor­tant than broad choice in hard­ware… and who know that Apple is best at that ove­rall expe­rience.
    I bet if Apple made a tablet com­pu­ter, you’d get one and become the big­gest Mac fan in Blog­town. But I’d also bet that having a tablet form fac­tor is your non-negotiable defi­ni­tion of usa­bi­lity (at least now that you have one).
    Me, I want a Mac sub­no­te­book, and Steve Jobs doesn’t want to sell me one. (I think I’ll get one even­tually, but Apple won’t approve.) Bet­ween here and there I’ll pro­bably buy a few more Macs.
    The point is, yeah, 4% is not a large or repre­sen­ta­tive mar­ket. But if you look at who that 4% is, I think you’ll find opi­nion lea­ders ove­rre­pre­sen­ted, and I *know* you’ll find crea­tive pro­fes­sio­nals ove­rre­pre­sen­ted.
    (Any­way, I still use WinXP and Linux every day in addi­tion to OSX.)

    Con­sis­tency is not one your traits! As you argue impli­citly argue elsewhere — share of mar­ket and share of voice/influence are very dif­fe­rent things.

    I think you guys might be mis­sing the point. He’s saying don’t con­fuse 4% with rea­lity. That is, don’t con­fuse a small mar­ket share with the rea­lity that Apple rules ;-) Heh heh *smirk*
    And if my inter­pre­ta­tion is wrong.. it’s more a share than Porsche, Ferrari, or BMW have of the car mar­ket ;-)

    There’s no such thing as ‘mar­kets’ any­way, it’s all about mic­ro­mar­kets nowa­days sayeth the Godin. Mic­ro­mar­kets and mic­ro­brands.. let’s bring back the term microcomputer.
