Is there no larger contingent of armchair corporate CEOs than Apple fanatics? Let's examine the so-called wealth of opinion out there and see how it measures up.

add all that up and you have the Switch Campaign alright: its called 5% of market was Apples when Jobs launched the iMac and now it is 1.8% six years later. The Switch Campaign is to move to Windows.
You obviously know nothing about marketshare. Apple could sell the amount of computers year over year and if the computer market swells without them getting much of the increase, then their own marketshare goes down because of it. This has no affect on their actual installed userbase. Apple has maintained a 3 million plus in Macs sold year to year these last few years. The Apple Stores have claimed that %50 of their sales go to new (previous Windows) users. So I would venture to say that the Switch campaign worked out as planned.
The Windows marketshare will fall to that of Linux in the end. Consumers always go for the cheapest alternative and Linux is "good enough" for daily computer use today!
