OS X grows market share

OS X Share Up 29% in Past Year, Slowly Chipping Away at Microsoft

Excerpt:

Web measurement company Quantcast recently began publishing stats on operating system browser share from its sample of quantified publishers. Data shows that in January 2010, Microsoft Windows accounted for 86.8% share of North American web consumption, Apple OS X accounted for 10.9%, and mobile browsers accounted for 1.3%.

Apple’s relative share has grown by 29.4% in the past year, while Windows lost 3.8%. Mobile increased the most in the past year, more than doubling its share of web consumption.

Comment: My sense is that Windows 7 will be a great operating system. Also Windows laptops are much less expensive than Macs. But Mac lovers are devote!
