Too many computers

Gartner has been coming out with some seriously big figures over the last week or so. I mean huge, even by Gartner standards. Take, for example, the little gem revealed in the “Market Trends: Worldwide PC Market Scenarios, 2Q08” report that says some 297 million computers will be shipped worldwide this year. That’s up 12.5 percent on the 264 million that were shipped last year if you believe the Gartner numbers.

The rise being predominantly down to the strength of the mobile market, causing a revision of the 10.9 percent growth that was being touted around by its analysts as recently as March.

Is there any significant, non-anecdotal evidence that Macs are used longer on average? I’ve seen Apple fans protest the use of market share, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest that the Mac installed base is disproportionate to the Mac market share in notable or significant terms.
