You make a good point, joechung, and I've been trying to find the related statistics. This is what I've been able to come up with so far:

Apple had 14% of the US retail PC market in Feb. 2008 -

This article claims the number was 8.7% in the 2nd quarter of 2009 -

According to this article on theappleblog.com, Apple has 4% of the global PC market as of July 2009 -

If anyone has more, I'd be very curious to see them (especially the ratio of sub-$1000 retail PC sales to $1000+ retail PC sales).
