Things I come across that make me wonder, laugh, enjoy, think and experience life in general
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

In a chart posted on Twitpic Monday, Asymco’s Horace Dediu shows that the multiple of PCs sold to Apple (AAPL) Macs sold has been falling steadily since it peaked in 2004 and is approaching the ratio of 1985. (via 2004: The year the Windows PC to Apple Mac sales ratio peaked - Apple 2.0 - Fortune Tech)
if you extrapolate, around 2016 the lines converge. Of course, that’s a linear sort of thinking. My bet is that iPad and soon iTV could accelerate the curve. Also, if Microsoft stumbles with its rollout of new Windows 8 phones, they could fall very very fast on the PC side.
As a former longtime Windows user who switched to Apple 3 years ago I can totally see why this is happening. I’m very curious what the long term impact on the business of Microsoft will be, as the article hints at.
