91% of a market?
91 percent of all computers sold at retail for more than $1,000 were Macs.

Windows has less marketshare than that and they are a monopoly. I guess that means Apple now has a monopoly on PCs over $1,000! I know that when I went to buy a laptop in the $1,500 range, I had no choice but the MBP so that is what I had to buy.
