Microsoft Windows And Apple Mac OS Users

Another month has past and it is time to check out the recent Market Share percentages between the three dominant Operating Systems including Windows, Mac and Linux.  This seems to be one of those “sore subjects” where Apple fanatics swear by their computers and it is just the same on the other end of the aisle for Microsoft gurus.  Basically we must all remember, it is just a piece of software, both have advantages and disadvantages.  They are both excellent OS’es and deserve praise respectfully.

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.
