>Surface devices represent about 10% of all desktop computers.

Really, Surface has THAT MUCH?! I honestly doubt it. I think I've only seen 4-6 surface devices in the wild in my life(in Europe). Maybe in the US they have 10% market share.

But some business users in rich countries buying Surface devices can't possibly make 10% global PC market share.

I was talking about laptops and desktops, you know, what matters when the subject is Surface.

Successful enough that made Apple start shipping keyboards with the iPad to compete in that segment, as laptop wannabe.

According to Gartner, Surface has never been more than 2.1% of the global market.
