Measuring the market share will depend upon what market you are looking at and how you are measuring the size of the share. Bearing in mind that Windows is an operating system that can be run on an Apple computer and Apple sells both hardware and software:
One way is to monitor web browsing to see the percentages of different computer platforms. Such a measure gives the Mac around 10% of the market and Windows around 90% (See links below) If you define the market as the quality end of computer sales ($1000 and up), which Apple targets, then Apple has around 91% of the market.

Why do apple computers and personal computers not agree?
Apple Computers are in fact personal computers, but the "PC" moniker typically is applied to Windows computers. Historically Apple computers used different processor architectures than Windows computers, but now a days an Apple computer, running Mac OS, and a PC, running Windows OS, are identical in terms of hardware they just run different software. The difference in software is the primary reason why the computers "do not agree". The different OSes have very different User Interfaces and get followings of people who are more dedicated to one interface or the other. Mac and Apple computers cannot "Network" at the user level as many home users would expect them to because of the difference in OS. It is somewhat like the two computers speaking different languages.

Why spend more on apple computer?
On average, an Apple Macintosh stays useful longer than a typical PC. A typical PC user may purchase 2 computers versus the 1 computer a Macintosh user in the same amount of time. This answer is all based on anecdotal evidence. May I add that Apple builds no cheap computers and Apple actually builds it. Unlike Windows who only build software. If you compare an Apple computer with a similar Windows computer of the same quality there is very little difference in price. A Mac is also faster, easier to use, requires no security software, that will slow it down and holds it's value. Remember the old adage, you get what you pay for. Apple computers are not perfect but they have far less problems than Windows computers.
Are apple computers easy to transition to?
Yes, I think they are. If your a non geek then it's even easier. Apple has a minimalistic OS, as it were. The Mac OS was made to be easy to work with and find stuff on. Altough Windows 7 and above are moving in that direction. One thing Windows has going for it (for geeks anyway) I think is you can do more fiddling and trimming the OS then you can with the Mac.
Are apple computers better than windows computers?
I would say that mac's are better than PC's because they have an easlier, better, and faster computer and interface. As the days pass on Apple's computers become better and better, but Microsoft is losing 80 BILLION dollars to apple. The only downside to Apple is that it's more on the expensive side, but when you think about it your paying for the premium service, so I say it's worth the price. It depends who is behind the computer.
