Change can often be slow. It took many years for the Mac to begin to even threaten the PC in the enterprise. It is still a slow process, but Apple is making up ground on Microsoft.

But the times they are a changin'. According to IDC, Apple’s U.S. market share for the quarter ended Sept. 30 jumped from 10.5% to 11.3%.
