winbeta.org - 16.04.2009Market Share 2007: Mac OS gains 3.15%, Vista grabs 10.48%
Throughout 2007, according to reports by Net Applications, Mac OS increased its market share by 3.15% while Vista managed to grab 10.48% market share.
Windows XP lost 8.39% of the OS market share in the same time period, quite unsurprising considering Vista is its successor, while Linux increased by
0.26%. Nothing too mind-boggling, but definitely interesting, to say the least. At the end of December 2007, the (incomplete) standings are as
follows:

Windows 7 arrived two weeks ago and so far it's selling quite sell. With Mac OS X
10.6 becoming available less than three
months ago, and Ubuntu 9.10 arriving last week, we feel it's a good
time to start watching the market share for operating systems, in addition to our monthly posts on browser market share. At this
point in time, Windows continues to dominate with more than 90 percent of the market, Mac OS is above the five percent mark, and Linux is just under
one percent. In October, Windows was the only operating system not to show positive growth.

choosing a desktop platform. In no particular order, people want application compatibility, stability, security, performance, and ease of use. When

share, down 5% from March of 2003. Mac holds 6% market share, an increase of 4% from March, 2003. Finally, Linux has doubled its market share since
2003 with a current 4%.

neowin.net - 17.09.2009Apache quickly surrenders web server market share to Microsoft, Google
Apache continues its rapid
decline in web server market
share. While Microsoft has
reached a new record high in
the segment, Apache also has
to deal with advances of
Google and has lost almost 10
market share points during the
first seven months of the
year.
According to Netcraft's
August web server survey,
50.92% of the web's 128.0
million websites are currently
running an Apache web server.
This number is down from
52.62% last month. In the same
time frame, Microsoft was able
to gain almost 1.4 points from
32.84% to 34.28%, which is the
highest share for the company
recorded by Netcraft so far
(surveys began at the end of
1995).
Since the beginning of
this year, Netcraft has lost
about 16% of its market share
(9.72 points), which stood at
60.64% in January. Microsoft
held 30.67% at that time. This
development reveals that
Microsoft gained a little less
than half of the market shares
surrendered by Apache. The
lion's share of the other
half can be found at Google,
which becomes a more important
force in the hosting market,
mainly through its Blogger
service. According to
Netcraft, Google now hosts
5.70 million sites, or about
4.45% of all currently
registered domains “ a new
record for Google. The
remaining "lost" shares in
this scenario were attributed
to lighttpd, which is
estimated to account for 1.17%
of the market according to
Netcraft. ..

It will surprise no one that Google accounts for a lion's share of the ad server market. However, it may come as a shock that Microsoft holds only

Attributor, a content-tracking company, analyzed ad
server calls across 75 million domains in October. According to the data Attributor released this week,
Google--through DoubleClick and AdSense--accounts for 56.5 percent market share.
winbeta.org - 21.12.2008Mac OS X market share growth stumbles
Apple Inc.'s operating system market share slipped last month as Microsoft Corp.'s Windows halted its slide for only the fourth time in the last 12
months, a research company reported.
In July, Apple's Mac OS X powered 7.76% of the computers that accessed the 40,000 sites Net
Applications monitors for its clients, the company said Friday. The Mac's share of the OS market was down 0.18 percentage points from June's 7.94%,
and was lower than May's 7.83%.
Windows, meanwhile, posted a small gain in overall share, climbing 0.13 percentage points from
June's 90.89% to end July with 91.02%.
winbeta.org - 05.08.2008Vista, Mac OS X gain users; Firefox loses market share
As Microsoft Corp.'s Windows
Vista and Apple Inc.'s Mac OS
X continued to grow their
share of the operating system
market last month, Mozilla
Corp.'s Firefox suffered its
biggest-ever drop in usage, a
Web metrics company reported.
By the end of May,
Vista accounted for 3.74% of
all operating systems on
machines connecting to Net
Applications Inc.'s clients'
Web sites. The total share for
Mac OS X -- which included
older editions running on
PowerPC processors as well as
version 10.4, or "Tiger," on
Intel-powered Macs -- was
6.46%. Vista was up about
three-quarters of a percentage
point from April, while Mac OS
X was up a quarter of a point.
Their gains came
largely at the expense of
earlier versions of Windows,
such as Windows XP and Windows
2000, although Net
Applications' "Other"
category, which is essentially
Linux, also faded slightly. ..
winbeta.org - 19.06.2007Linux Losing Market Share to Windows Server
Linux growth in the U.S. x86 server market has, over the past six quarters, started to falter and reverse its positive course relative to Windows
Server and the market as a whole.
The annual rate at which Linux is growing in the x86 server space has fallen from around 53
percent in 2003, when Windows Server growth was in the mid-20 percent range, to a negative 4 percent growth in calendar year 2006, IDC Quarterly
Server Tracker figures show.
Over the same time period, Windows has continued to report positive annual growth, outpacing the
total growth rate in the x86 market by more than 4 percent in 2006, indicating that Linux has actually lost market share to Windows Server over this
time.

The trouble with having a huge market share is that the only way to move is down - and that's exactly what's happening to Windows and Internet
Explorer, according to an new report. The question is how much further are they going to fall?
According to the latest Market Share report from Net Applications, Windows' share has dropped from 93.28 to
91.13 percent over the last 12 months. What's taking up the slack? Mostly Mac OS, with a little help from the iPhone. The Mac share has risen from
5.99 to 7.83 percent, and the iPhone's from 0.04 to 0.16 percent - but more of that later.

betanews.com - 13.10.2007Vista adoption rate 10 times that of OS X
Apple fans have made much of the fact that the newest figures from Net Applications show that Apple's share of the operating system market has jumped
almost 32% in the past year. But they're ignoring a simple fact: Vista's market share during that same time leaped more than 355%. When you add in
other Windows versions, Microsoft owns more than 90% of the market.
Net Applications reports that the Mac had 7.94% market share in June,
up from 6.03% a year ago. Going from a little more than 6% to just under 8% may be a big gain when measured as a percentage of growth. But when seen
in absolute numbers, it's not particularly impressive.
Vista, by way of contrast, showed far more explosive growth. In June, 2007, it
had 4.54% market share. In June, 2008, it had reached 16.14% --- more than a 355% gain. Those numbers are substantial not just in percentage terms,
but in raw terms as well. Apple would sell the first-born children of most of its employees if it could ever get to a 16% market share.
jcxp.net - 17.07.2008Linux x86 growth outpaced by Microsoft Windows
A recent IDC report showed
Linux servers continuing to
increase market share for x86
architecture with a second
consecutive quarter of
double-digit growth, but the
bigger news could be
Microsoft's even bigger surge
with Server 2003.
The
Redmond, Wash.-based software
giant's Server 2003 showed
modest gains in Q1, with IDC
reporting that Microsoft
Windows Server revenue was
$4.8 billion in Q1. This
number represents 10.4%
year-over-year growth and a
gain of 1.9 points of revenue
market share over the same
period in 2006. Windows
encompassed 38.8% of all
server revenue in Q1 of 2007.
However, the most
noteworthy accomplishment for
Microsoft was that --
according to IDC -- this was
the first quarter since that
firm started tracking Linux
server spending in 1998 that
Windows Server revenue grew
faster than Linux server
revenue. IDC noted Linux
server revenue reached $1.6
billion, which represented
growth of 10%. ..
