Windows XP finally used by less than half of Internet users
Now a new report claims that in July Windows XP hit a kind of milestone. According to a story at Techspot, the operating system's PC market share fell down to 49.94 percent. Yep, that means that Windows XP is no longer in the majority of all PCs that connect to the Internet ... barely. Recently Microsoft urged Windows XP owners to start thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 as official support for Windows XP will end in April 2014.
The same story says that Windows 7 has 27.87 percent of the OS market and poor Windows Vista now has just 9.24 percent of the market. However even Windows Vista has more Internet users than Mac owners. The study put the Mac OS at 5.59 percent of Internet users. The ultra-techie Linux operating system now has .98 percent of the market while the "Other" category holds onto 5.77 percent.

3OH3 So around 87% of the entire internet uses a Windows OS? That's pretty amazing if you ask me.
I swear I saw somewhere that Ma was gaining popularity, but I guess not. Oh well, Mac for me :)
