A hardy congrats to Apple and their continued dominion over the European education market. According to 9 to 5 Mac, a study by research firm Gartner has confirmed that Apple, in the second calendar quarter of 2008, remains the number one PC manufacturer in the education segment across Europe. They’ve held this position for eight successive quarters, selling 19.2 percent of all CPU’s sold in the sector, including servers.
And so Apple continues its positive growth trend in just about every way, around the world. It’s crazy to think that when I was in grade school, the Apple II’s were the big thing, with only a few privileged “Macintosh” computers here and there. Nowadays, at least in Europe, Intel iMacs abound in the classroom. That, ladies and gentlemen, is progress. *sniff sniff* It’s just so damned beautiful!
