Windows Market Share Dives Below 90% For First Time
Microsoft's Windows operating system took its biggest market share dive in the past two years dropping under 90% for the first time. Apple's Mac OS X had its biggest gain in the same two-year period holding an almost 9% market share. Even with the downturn, Microsoft's Vista was up just over a percentage point and now holds a 20% market share.
In November, 89.6% of users who connected to the Web sites that Net Applications Inc. monitors did so from systems powered by Windows, a drop of 0.84 of a percentage point from October. The decrease was the largest slip by Windows in the past two years and easily bested other recent down months, including May 2008 and December 2007, when Windows lost 0.51 and 0.63 percentage points, respectively.
