Statistics - Operating Systems and Browsers

Net Market Share made snapshots of PC usage based on data from 160 million visits per month to its large collection of sites.

1. In July, Windows 7 surpassed Windows Vista in global usage share. However, Windows XP is still the leading operating system by far, with double the share of Vista and 7 combined. Top Operating System Share Trend

2. Internet Explorer extended its lead as the world's leading browser. Top Browser Share Trend

That sure shows how minor Apple and Linux really are in the world of computers today!

Interesting to see the minimum use of IE7 (relative) compared to IE8. Also, the growth of Google Chrome is quite interesting, compared to the growth of IE8. Never been a fan of Internet Explorer anyway

very interesting info. for operating system I guess windows 7 will soon over take windows xp. for browser I like firefox and chrome and hated IE.

It will take years for Windows 7 to overtake XP, if it ever does. XP is firmly entrenched in the corporate world and it's not easy for them to change.

Very true. I know the database programs we use would need to be totally re-written / programed and that's not happening anytime soon.
We even have a web based gradebook program that doesn't work with IE8.
