A surge in Vista-driven PC sales will temporarily dilute Apple Inc.'s share of the computer market, a financial analyst predicted today -- even though his own survey of a national electronics chain found most stores have sold fewer copies of Windows Vista than expected.

In a note to investors, Piper Jaffray & Co. analyst Gene Munster said that the pent-up demand for Vista will put more Windows-equipped PCs in customers' hands in the January-March quarter of 2007. That, in turn, means Apple's share of the market will slip slightly, from 2.5 percent in December 2006 to 2.3 percent in March 2007.
