Macintosh. Half a million new users by the end of 2006?

Apple writes in their quarterly report that 50 percent of the Macintosh buyers never have owned an computer from Apple before. If these figures are correct, Apple is about to take some new market shares.

Most likely these new buyers comes from the Microsoft Windows platform.

Of the 154.000 sold Macintosh computers the last quarter, 50% of the buyers are new customers. If these sales continues, Macintosh will have about 500.000 new users by the end of this year.

One theory to the increased sales of Macintosh computers, might be that users now can
use Windows, and Windows applications on the Macintosh computer. So those who hesitated
before, now "dares" to try the Macintosh hardware.
