Apple continues to make market share gains according to online trend research firm Net Applications.
Last month, Net Applications reported that Apple's share was up to 6.8% with corresponding declining Windows market share. Today, Net Applications reports that the Mac has crested the 7% barrier and is at 7.31% for December 2007. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Windows OS continues to decline in market share, with a still dominant 91.79% in December having eroded from 92.42% in November. Apple (and to a lesser extent, Linux) have been steadily taking market share from Microsoft for the past 6 months.
In contrast to market share numbers by firms like Gartner which combine quarterly results from the industry to give market share of sales, Net Applications market share numbers attempt to represent installed base of internet users. More on how Net Applications gets its numbers... - Urkel, on 01/02/2008, -1/+0"Mac is 7% in December"
"7% now belongs to Mac!!!!"
"OMG! Mac has 7% marketshare."
"Celebration time guys! 7% Mac share".
[Ignored headline: Vista, the worlds most hated OS has 10%]- inkswamp, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2Vista has 10% because of pre-installed copies on new PCs. Don't kid yourself. Not a lot of rush out there to buy it. I know many PC users and none of them are using it yet and most have expressed caution against it.
Besides, 10% market share for an update to an OS that has 90%+ is really nothing to brag about. That's called no momentum.
