Star 'Vista Use Grows As Mac OS X Stays Flat'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 24th Jul 2007 15:11 UTC, submitted by flanque
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.

Well judging from the 6% figure for OS X, I'd say this a very US centric report. No one really uses Apple's products outside of the US/West EU/Japan.

That's what I was thinking as well.

I'd like to see a worldwide study done to see where linux stands. Last time such a thing was done was by google.

So that's why I see people with MacBooks all the time here in Sweden? I doubt that Apple has a 6% market share here, but it's growing fast, I can see that without the statistics.
Also I've seen a lot more linux laptops on trains and cafés the past year. Those used to be a rare sight.

Good to know that more people are moving away from Windows. We need more competition.
