I hope Microsoft's new Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 will be able to change this

Paradigm shift. It was the moment when IT industry became an aestheticized sign and religion. Before that, IT pruducts were a tools. Now they are a purpose.

So... Apple has almost as much sales as PCs? What about just Macs? If we're comparing computer sales, we shouldn't include iPods, iPads, iPhones, and Macs vs. PCs. I bet Apple isn't anywhere near close if you compare PCs vs. Macs like you're supposed to do.

can we have a feature in this website wherein we can "dislike" the article itself, rather than just a user comment??? coz i think i really REALLY have a use for that with this article. windows [PCs only] vs mac [all products] is just wrong..

You should write under the name "Armstrong", because that's a stretch...

If they are going to include iOS devices, MS should have their gaming devices included as well. No one looks atand iPod and thinks it's a computer replacement, nor iPhone for that matter.

Really? We stooping that low now? And you wonder why we call you iPhoneArena. We're comparing strictly Windows computers against the whole array of iCrap. If anything this article just shows Apple is still as pathetic as ever, even with all their products combined they still can't beat Windows' distribution.

All of you are stuck in older times. In the mid 90s or even before lets say 2007 our image of a computer was a box, monitor, and the obvious accessories. The two OS's from apple and Microsoft was a clear and obvious battle.Now when we talk about computing and capabilities. What smartphones and tablets can accomplish are on par with most computers. Web browsing check, Office productivity check, Printing capabilities check. Obviously we are not talking about high performance computing or gaming machines but still. I think that in today's world its more then fair to compare ipads to pcs and iPhones. Hate it or love its a very different world.

Macs are a pricey niche product and have been since the 1980's. It makes zero sense to compare iPhone sales to Windows OS sales, as they don't compete. If you want to understand the shift from computers to mobile technology such as tablets and smart phones, then you need to look at all of them. This is a self-gratifying answer in search of a question.

what a junk comparison to try to make apple look good. iOS and MacOS are not the same.. not at all. Might as well say if you add Ford together with Mcdonalds they make as much or more money than Toyota. (i have no idea if thats true). Its a comparison with out merrit or a base.

You compare PCs vs macs and mobile vs mobile. they are separate arenas.. especially concerning mac/iOS.
