Microsoft The month of December has already been unkind to Microsoft. The software giant's Windows operating system and its Internet Explorer browser saw significant market share drops reported on back-to-back days. Not only was the November percentage drop for Windows the biggest in two years, but Windows market share dipped below a number where it has historically held tight: 90 percent. According to Web metrics company, Net Applications, Windows market share as of Dec. 1 is 89.6 percent. Meanwhile, Mac OS X posted its largest gain in two years, with 8.9 percent market share at the end of November.

It's gonna suck though for those doing tech support/computer repair. Suddenly, you're going to have to know 3-4 operating systems instead of only 1.


It would make life much easier for mechanics if we all drove the same brand of car, but yet somehow they manage to get by, despite our stubborn and naive insistence on choice and value.
