Building on the already record breaking success of Mac OS X version 10.3 Panther, Apple today announced that there are now over 9 million active users of Mac OS X and the company expects to cross the 10 million user mark later this quarter. Additionally, there are now over 10,000 Mac OS X applications that run natively on the platform. Panther is the fourth major release of Mac OS X in three years and we plan to reach 10 million active Mac OS X users this quarter, which is 40 percent of our entire installed base, said Philip Schiller, Apples senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. This is a major milestone in the successful adoption of the worlds most advanced operating system.
