Windows 7 passes Mac OS X in market share race
Quote: Windows 7 passes Mac OS X in market share race
Weekend numbers for new OS bigger than for all versions of Mac OS X, says Net Applications

Computerworld - Windows 7 passed the 5% market share milestone last weekend, which put it, if only temporarily, above the total market share of all versions of Apple's Mac OS X, a Web measurement firm said today.
Last Saturday and Sunday, Windows 7 powered an estimated 5% and 5.14% of all computers that were online those days, according to Internet metrics vendor Net Applications. The two-day average of 5.07% was higher than the 5% of the market that Net Applications said Apple's operating system averaged for the week of Nov. 15-21.
"It's safe to say that Windows 7's daily share did peak above Mac's weekly share," said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president at Net Applications, in an e-mail today. Vizzaccaro said his company had not yet compiled daily averages for Mac OS X, something that would be necessary to compare Windows 7's weekend numbers with the same dates for the Mac.
When Windows 7's Nov. 15-21 average was matched against Mac OS X, however, for an apples-to-apples comparison, Microsoft's 4.15% lagged behind Apple's 5%.
But Vizzaccaro was confident that Windows 7 would soon pass Mac OS X for good, and not just during a short stretch. "Certainly, the trend line shows Windows 7 will surpass Mac share soon," he predicted. More at: Windows 7 passes Mac OS X in market share race | My System Specs |

I find this quote from the article pretty interesting: With a week left in November, Windows 7 currently sports a 3.9% monthly average. At its current pace, it will reach 4% for the month, which means Microsoft's newest OS will have easily beaten Vista's first four months of market share gains. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built, Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop

Was there any surprize? Not really! While it doesn't mean people will be found waiting in long lines to get a copy of 7 the initial reactions for the new version will outline the success rate when people are voting more confidently for it including how the business world reacts there as well. The market figures more or less reflect what the corporate world has to say! | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8 RP VM, Linux Mint Debian 2nd OS HD- 7 Pro x64 second case

I'm never fond of any OSs that grow on branches of trees either!
