130. And you don't seem to understand that some businesses are just fine
with a minority share of the market. Jobs commented that 10% market share was more than enough for them.

the computer as we know it is going through a big change. It's going to be less desktop and more mobile devices. Apple is well positioned in the laptop and mobile device market. Apple has a 91% share of the premium laptop market. Their laptops are high margin items. Overall, they have a 12% share in laptops. iPhone has a 30% share, right behind Blackberry. iPhone now has a larger share of the mobile OS market than Windows mobile. Computers are so yesterday.


Yes MS has a lot to do with this topic. They are an example of getting so big a market share that they have stopped growing. Their stock is flat and has been that way all decade.
