Bad week for Microsoft. Browsers, OS and Boxes | |

The first of every month (like hourly stats? click here) brings Market Share NetApplication data which kinda/sorta gives us an idea of how different platforms and browsers are doing against one another. I say kinda because the data is based on visits to a group of websites, not any other sort of hard data.

Interesting. This is something for Redmond to watch, but I suspect as more people relize the limitations of these other OS's that there will be a trend back to Microsoft. Also IF the trends continue these alternatives will become the target of more malware, viruses etc...
This should be fun! |

Man.... this is so tiresome.... they look at one market - the USA - at one time - November - knowing dang well that nearly every US business is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday and four to five days of closed businesses and reduced staffing for an even longer period.... all to produce some rubbish like this.
Look, I personally think that it would be great if some real heat were put on MS in this context - it would make MS respond with greater effort and drive them to produce even better products. To knowingly shape figures like this does nothing but distort the facts and obscure the truth - while pissing the rest of the planet off as it ignores their markets. Why do we extend so much trust to such activities? And these folks call others shills and sheep? Pardon me as I spit out the vomit coming up in my throat. |

| #2: Taking only the US into account would tend to inflate the numbers for IE and Windows, as Europe more heavily uses Firefox and Linux. As for your thanksgiving reasoning, it seems to me that more web surfing would be done by people on holiday at home then they would do at work. And 4-5 days for thanksgiving? Really?? I thought thanksgiving was a single day that most turned into two (Friday). Where are the other 2-3 bonus days? Does anyone take that many days, or are you just using that to bolster your argument? Even if they did, I believe that would inflate MS's numbers with that many people at home for that many days. |

| At (still) less then 1% marketshare how is Linux taking the low end of the market from Windows? It is not. |

Wow! Look at these November numbers for Vista - 20% market share.

I notice Linux is down 10% from its August peak of .93%
While XP + Vista is down from 87.07% to 86.76% - a drop of .3% from Jan 2008. I also notice that in October Windows NT passed Linux's market share .78% to .71%. GO NT! |

| Very large numbers of our customers extend the Thanksgiving holiday - many break away the Friday before and in our own company, I cut people loose beginning the Monday before. We've seen this slowing of work across our base for years. |

The hidden factoid in the Mac numbers is how many have a Windows OS installed on them so that they can do something with their computer . . .
The *nix numbers are laughable - as usual . . . |
