The Net Applications' method is less of a measure of market share than installed base, according to an [url=http://blogs.business2.com/apple/2007/10/mac-installed-b.html]Apple 2.0 blog[/url]. By Net Applications' reckoning, more than 90 percent of the computers on the Internet are running some flavor of Windows while 6.6 percent are running a version of Mac OS X. Nearly 3.4 percent are categorized as "other," which includes 0.81 percent Linux and 0.07 percent iPhone (up from 0.05 percent in August).
Among mainstream operating systems, Vista was the fastest-growing, up more than 15 percent for the month, although Windows' numbers overall were down slightly. Linux and iPhone both showed double-digit gains, up better than 18 percent and 28 percent, respectively. The iPhone data were taken too early to reflect the effect of the software update last week that rendered unlocked phones inoperable.
