Vista use grows as Mac OS X stays flat | |
|
||
| Time: 00:54 EST/05:54 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Windows Vista's share of online users has increased every month this year, while rival Mac OS X -- to which Vista has often been compared -- has shown little, if any, growth, a metrics company reports. 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. | ||

Maybe if they were hosting the ActiveWin site on Vista, all the comments in every thread wouldn't have vanished.

| My understanding is that they are migrating to new hardware; things like these can happen. I would say it is not a big deal... as long as they have a backup. :-) |

Paul Thurrott has some interesting points to make about this:
http://www.internet-nexus.com/2007/07/vista-use-grows-as-mac-os-x-stays-flat.htm Vista surpassed Mac OS X about five months ago from what I can tell. PC makers sold almost 60 million PCs in the second quarter alone. Let's assume that 80 percent of them come with Vista. That means that almost 50 million Vista users came on board in just that quarter. That's more than double the actual number of Mac OS X users. ... Real world Vista usage surpassed Mac OS X usage sometime in February 2007, March at the latest. |

Nintendo Wii has 25% of the share that Linux does.
Will the Wii share catch Linux before Vista surpasses Mac? |

The obsession with market share is painfully bizarre.
How come I never see anything about other ridiculous market share numbers? Like hardwood floor vs. carpet. And a thread where the people who like carpet are calling the hardwood floor people names and making jokes about it. 1: LOL, EAT MY RUG! 2: shut up, at least I'm not collecting dust. 3: CARPET RULEZ! |

#7 Not sure about Linux, but it's about to overtake xbox360 and leave it battling out with Sony for second place.
#9 Hardwood all the way! Much healthier for you! |

| #9 - lol! |

kabuki, typically market share is in terms of REVENUE extracted from customers.
so, wii can forget about #1 for quite some time. |
