I think around 5 percent would be viable - as they say it's a marathon not a sprint. What Apple has - it's crown jewel is a core OS that can be a platform. Be it Apple TV, Computers, iPod or Iphone - at the end of the day the OS X core is there- combined with the end-to-end distrubtion model pioneered in iTunes Apple have a powerful set of tools at their disposal.
Apple's really gift is that they do everything, and whilst Mr Dell (I'd close the company and give the shareholders money back - he's like a bad Santa) may have predicted that doing it all was not the way to go Apple have proven them wrong. As Above- the number of kids that love Apple is growing- and it's this mindshare that is going to be making the decisions in later life for companies.
I predict Apple will start to push OS X server bigger in the next few releases, with the coming core increases in processors, and a UNIX based core- Apple could really score here with the all in one approach... Imagine server software that comes with a Database Engine, Blog, Mail and Video Conference engine built in - ?
