Latest Apple Rumors Predict Mac Sales Ahead of Estimates

The impact of this continued growth with Apple, for software developers is immense. My company (Colrosa) is developing a number of cross platform applications and has had to adopt a strategy of retraining developers in the use of both Windows and MacOS X technologies for software development.

Two years ago we could have afforded to ignore the Mac user in the commercial domain as, "such a small percentage" that the issues of cross platform development out-weighed the commercial benefits, and this is just not the case now.

We have now adopted Sun's Java platform as desktop application development language and environment because we simply cannot afford to miss out on the Mac market.

And, on a personal note we are enjoying the switch to using Macs too!

I'm still looking for clear figures on new mac sales into the business market in the US and EU - does anyone know what these figures are?
