This seems to be a market stats day, so I thought I would mention the latest from OneStat:
OneStat.com ( www.onestat.com ), the number one provider of real-time intelligence web analytics, today reported that Microsoft’s Windows dominates the operating system market with a global usage share of 96.97 percent. The leading operating system on the web is Microsoft’s Windows XP with a global usage share of 86.80 percent.
…
The 10 most popular operating systems in the world on the web are: …
Here’s the top 6:
| Rank | OS | % |
| 1 | Windows XP | 86.80 |
| 2 | Windows 2000 | 6.09 |
| 3 | Windows 98 | 2.68 |
| 4 | Macintosh | 2.32 |
| 5 | Windows ME | 1.09 |
| 6 | Linux | 0.36 |
The magnitude of the Windows predominance on the Web isn’t really a surprise, although I would expect there are more of the older Windows versions tucked away doing non-Internet applications.
