Computers? As in Desktop computers and laptops worldwide? I can't find current numbers but i wouldn't think that Apple has reached a global market share for desktops over 10%. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system... Thats what i meant. Now tell me that in _this_ area Apple is exactly worth as much as MS. MS doesn't produce computers, so the comparison is not fair. But that's why i said i would want to see the numbers for all the departments of MS and Apple.

Also, the global market share for smart phones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone

You surely don't want to know the numbers for mobile phones in general.

Wow, you are quick. He said profit, not market share. For example, Apple maybe only sell 2-3% of the entire mobile handset market, but make more profit out of any Mobile company. They make more money than Nokia, who sell 100x as many phones.

Good point....like how MS's profit/revenue ration (in 2009 anyway) was ~28% vs. ~18% for Apple http://royal.pingdom.com/2010/04/09/the-money-made-by-micros...

for the hundreds time now. That's why i want to see the numbers. I am writing since the first comments now, that the most interesting information would be numbers. But we don't know them...
