Apple According to many economists, Gilbert Amelio is the savior of businesses in trouble. With this in mind, the board of directors at Apple decided to appoint Gil Amelio to the board after reporting another huge loss in 1994. At the time, Michael Spindler was the head of Apple, and sales in every division. The board accepted Spindler's resignation and appointed Gil Amelio to the helm of Apple.

Seth made the following ABUSE comment:

"At only 1.8 % of the marketshare, Apple is still declining. The only thing that is keeping it alive is the iPod sales and the fact that no one really has a comparable product. As this changes tho,Apple will eventually just finsih dying off."

ANY TIME you hear someone talk of market share as to how it relates to install base... is FUD. This has been explained MANY times before. It was reported (Appropriately mind you) as abuse.

Apple's Install base GREW while its market share went down. This is because the total number of PC shipments grow faster than Apple... which only proces that market share is a totally irrelivant statistic.

It's good to know that OS News regards abuseive comments as acceptable
