(Reuters) – Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the latest improvements to the company’s Mac software as it looks to increase market share gains against Microsoft Windows-based PCs.

Executives outlined the newest version of the popular “iLife” multimedia software suite and said the Mac user base now spans 50 million people.

The company is expected to tout on Wednesday a new version of its high-end ultra-thin MacBook Air laptop, sporting a smaller screen and better battery life.

In the quarter that just ended, Mac revenue was $4.9 billion, less than a quarter of Apple’s overall revenue.

Apple shares rose 1 percent to $312.25 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq
