In the News Break out the salt, boys and girls, it's time for some statistics again. "According to Net Applications, in June Windows Vista accounted for 4.52% of all systems that browsed the Web, up from January's 0.18%. Vista has grown its usage share each month since its release to consumers Jan. 30, hitting 0.93% in February, 2.04% in March, 3.02% in April and 3.74% in May. Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X, meanwhile, accounted for 6.22% in January and hit its high point of 6.46% in May, but it slipped back to 6% in June. If Vista's uptake trend continues, it should pass Mac OS X in Web usage share by the end of August." Do with it as you please.

So, the OS that is being bundled in 90% (I'm guessing here) of all new PCs sold is about to surpass another OS that is bundled in 5% of PCs, "only" six months after its launch?

Amazing! [/sarcasm]

What would be more interesting to know is, what percentage of Windows users upgraded to Vista vs Mac users upgraded to Tiger, in a similar period?

That percentage would be much higher for Vista, if people actually knew how to use it.
