7. Not
After decades at 5-6% of the U.S. market, Apple shot up to a 9.5% share last year; but have since fallen back to 8%. They increased their market share, yes. Tripled it? Not. They haven't even doubled it. Even Acer sells more computers than Apple.

As far OS's, with Linux at about 1% these days, that means Windows runs 91% of the U.S.'s computers. See: "Apple's share of US PC market slips to 8%" (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/01/14/apples_share_of_us_pc_market_slips_to_8_at_hands_of_acer.html), and "Linux Reaches 1% Usage Share (http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/01/1443237)

This is in the U.S. only. For the entire world Apple's share is way smaller, thoough their share worldwide has increased as well over the last few years..
