To make a proper comparison...
It's funny that you chose to compare Gartner data for Macs against IDC data for PCs. Why didn't you compare IDC Mac data against the IDC PC data?



My mistake! IDC data for Apple's most recent quarter is actually on -7.5%

While IDC and Gartner approximately agree on the PC data, they have hugely differing views of Apple's Mac unit sales; Gartner's numbers pass the smell test and IDC's don't.

That's why I ignored IDC's Mac sales claim.
