OS Market Shares
« on: October 15, 2011, 07:10:45 pm »
This is a nice graph of trendlines for Windows 7, Vista, XP, OSX, and Linux.

In a nutshell, Win7 is just now overtaking XP, both a little under 40%.  Vista is a distant third, around 12%.  OSX follows in fourth.  Then Linux.

I find it interesting that with the success of iOS devices, OSX devices haven't REALLY taken off as a % of market share... A tick up in the last couple of months, but nothing fantastic...

What I think would be interesting would be a size of market expressed in units, because this would show whether Desktop OS sales are declining overall, possibly being replaced by those iOS devices...

I have 3 systems: XP, Vista, Win 7. I use each every day. I see no benefit of Win 7 or Vista over XP other than fluff.

A lot of companies still run XP on their desktops.


A big thumbs down for Win 8.  Why is Microsoft trying to make it look like an iPad?
