Macs were seen as overpriced to begin with. And Apple didn't offer huge discounts for bulk purchases, like the PC makers. Plus, Macs didn't come with the ecosystem of integrated productivity and management apps that are taken for granted in the Windows world. But the latest numbers don't lie. Apple's U.S. market share for the quarter ended Sept. 30 jumped from 10.5% to 11.3%, according to IDC. And Apple's global Mac shipments increased by 20%. Gartner puts Apple's U.S. market share at 12.9%, with a 21.5% growth in PC shipments. /company/news/78-recent_news_mac_attack/view http://www.desktone.com/company/news/78-recent_news_mac_attack/view Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:00:00 EST Paladin Building Services moved from on-premise VDI to a Desktop-as-a-Service offering from Desktone.
