Gartner: Apple sees 15.4 percent in year-over-year Mac sales: "Driven by price cuts, worldwide computer shipments totaled 54.9 million units in the second quarter of 2006, an 11 percent increase from the same period last year, according to preliminary results by the Gartner. And Apple was, well, smokin[base '], seeing 15.4 percent growth in sales from the second quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2006." This is great for Apple, especially in contrast to the market anxiety just before Apple published the earnings figures. But can Apple sustain the growth? Although Vista is much delayed, it probably will drive up the demand for PCs during the next 12 months. On the other hand, many hard-core PC users I know have started talking about Macs like never before - in fact they seem to know more about the Intel-based Macs than I do.
