From TG Daily -
A Net Application's Market Share report shows that Windows is losing ground to Mac OS X and Linux at an accelerating rate. Declining from a 90.73% market share to just 88.26%, Windows has given ground to Mac OS X which has moved from 8.03% to 9.93%, and Linux (all flavors) has moved from 0.76% to 0.83%.
The study is based on information gathered from 160 million monthly visitors to its hosted websites. The data set is not conclusive, but is a very high representative sampling due to the large number of unique users.
