Windows vs Mac Current Market Share
It’s time to analyze the new figures for the previous month of Windows, Mac and Linux users. Ever so slightly, the Apple brand of computers continue to make inroads on the dominant Windows Operating System. One can contribute this to the Switcher Advertisements that have been playing for years now and also the perception of Windows Vista. Now that Microsoft’s PDC Conference is over, we are all anticipating the newest arrival next year of Windows 7, which in fact I think they are going to push this release to the public as soon as possible and move past the Windows Vista debacle.
Please be aware that these percentages are based on consumers and businesses, not including servers. The actual figures and data are provided by Global Market Share Statistics and their website can be viewed here.
