This doesn’t surprise me at all. In fact, it seems kind of low, although I do live in that odd part of the U.S. known as San Francisco (hey, does that maybe mean Shark’s Vagina?). When I’m at a coffee shop and see a bunch of people on laptops, the majority of computers I see are Macs. And of all the people I’ve met over the past couple of years, an overwhelming percentage of them are using Macs. As in, 80-90% of them. It’s gotten to the point that when I meet someone in the city, it seems backwards if they are running Windows.
The point being, Steve Ballmer will eventually get his head out of his ass and realize that Microsoft will continue to die out if it stays the course. And hopefully that’ll mean better things from Microsoft which will mean better things from Apple and everyone else.
Mac use at UC Davis
Found this via Daring Fireball: Mac ownership has more than tripled, from 7.2 percent in winter 2006 to 23.4 percent in winter 2009..
