The latest computing survey results from the University of Virginia's freshman class show evidence of <A href="http://www.macrumors.com/c.php?u=http:%2F%2Fitc.virginia.edu%2Fstudents%2Finventory%2Fcompare%2F&t=1243258208">continued Apple marketshare growth</A> in the higher education market (via <A href="http://www.macrumors.com/c.php?u=http:%2F%2Fdaringfireball.net%2Flinked%2F2009%2F05%2F22%2Fuva-survey&t=1243258208">Daring Fireball</A>).  The chart above shows that Apple has made steady gains since 2003 in the percentage of incoming UVA freshman who own a Mac.  The latest year (2008) shows that 37% of incoming students owned a Mac while the percentage owning a Windows computer had shrunk to 62% from a peak of 96% in 2001.   The growth tracks closely with the trend towards laptop ownership amongst the Virginia freshman.  In 2008, 99% of the incoming students owned a laptop.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F94C3242-C896-476B-9F57-BCDC9D62586C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
