This means that Apple shipments during 2nd quarter grew from 6.6% to 10.6%. Most of that growth was pulled right out of Acer and Toshiba's pockets. The report does little to explain the growth, but I personally think it is thanks to the iHalo. That is to say that when people buy an iPhone or an iPod and they like it, they want to experience more of it. Don't get me wrong, I think vista is a good operating system (heck, I run it on all of my Macs, and it runs better than on any similarly priced or equipped HP or Dell), but the look and feel is very different than a Mac experience. If you are a Vista lover, OS X will drive you nuts, but if you are a Mac person, Vista is crazy. iPhones and iPods have introduced the masses to Apple theory. Some people like it, and so they buy Apple.
I expect that this Apple growth trend will continue. There will be new Macs out sometime this year, and many people will flock to them. If you have any doubts about my prediction stop by an airport or a coffee shop.
