It's been a long, strange trip for the personal computer over 30 years. Ars takes a look back at the comings and goings of players in the PC market, from Altair to Zeta OS, to see how we got where we are today. "When you step back and look at the big picture, the overall dominance of the PC becomes clear. However, this was not always the case, and in fact it wasn't until 1986 that the PC platform first surpassed 50% market share. This was more than a decade after the first personal computer was sold."

Too bad they make the mistake of referring to market share with regard to the total number of installations in use but use market share (sales) number to make the point.
Its the oldest trick in the book to give the illusion that there are fewer Mac users out there than what there actually is.
