Needham & Co. estimates that the "iPod halo" may have attracted up to 400,000 Windows users to the Mac so far this year. In a note to clients, analyst Charles Wolf observed that Apple's "key drivers" (iPod and the iPod halo effect) "continue to work". He believes Apple is set for even more growth in the future. Wolf wrote: "The iPod continued to lure Windows users into the Macintosh fold (in the third quarter). Mac unit shipments rose 35 per cent, three times the PC market growth rate."

Member since:The more people buy something does indeed indicate that it is preferred by users.
Lest you or anyone forget though, Windows did not achieve dominance by user preference. It was the operating system that was automatically installed on the PC in the first place. Its also important to remember that Microsoft used illegal business practices to keep competators away.
So the preference by usage actually does apply to all products except for those that achieved that dominance by roading the coat tails of other businesses or using illegal business practices.
