Analysts: Macs will continue to take market share from PCs
Are you sitting down for this one? Good. Here goes: Apple is going to keep taking market share from "traditional PCs." I know, it's a real shocker. But so says Zacks Investment Research (which is not, apparently, run by a dude named Zack as you'd think). They say that consumers are enjoying Apple's innovations, and that a strong product line lead by the iPod, iPhone, and the MacBook Air will continue to increase Apple's business and give them a bigger piece of the personal computing pie. Who knew?But Zacks isn't jumping into anything -- they still say that the iPod line will slow down over the next few years, so they're going "hold" with AAPL. Still, it's a good thing they told us about that marketshare thing. Without analysts like these, we'd have no idea what we're buying lately.

Why all the sarcasm?! They are a INVESTMENT FIRM! They're going to make a guess one way or another! That's their job! They made the right one, you don't bash them for that!

The iPod and iPhone have little to do with your decision to buy a PC or a Mac, so I think this statement is misleading at best. Further, the Macbook Air is not a smash hit, I've even heard of people returning them once the novelty wore off and they realized that it was too compromised to do real work on.
