Mac OS X slips, iPhone rises in Net Applications survey

This post is for Apple fans who enjoy obsessing over minutia. The latest Net Applications survey has been conducted and shows differing results for Mac OS X users and iPhone users.

Net Applications measures the percentage of users who visit some 40,000 web sites from a given operating system. In February, the number of Mac users dipped slightly to 7.45% from 7.57% in January, while the number of iPhone users rose to 0.14% from 0.13% in January (beating out the Playstation and Wii).

Windows still accounts for 91.58% of web users, according to the survey. What this means is A.) Most people have windows (we knew that), B.) Some people have Macs (we knew that), C.) iPhone users like to surf the web (we knew that) and D.) People love talking about very small percentages. Awesome.

The 12% vista market share was accomplished
in about 1 year +.

Apple have never hit that mark in 40 years
hmmmmmmm.

Small yes, apple craves most def.

And would computers ship with linux? Apple wants world domination with a close state of mind YEAH THAT WILL HAPPEN.
everything and anything is compatible with windows is market standard.

just like regular car doors and not lambo style.

Not seeing iPhone in there. I looked again, not seeing it. I assume it's in "other" but then, who cares?

A. sub 1) A year after the release Vista has won only a very tiny piece of the cake.

Usually something shaped like a pie draws peoples attention, but to provide a summery that just blows out people like Engadget! (I read engadget, yes I know engadget and TUAW are both related, but a summery, you just made my week)

lol we all know that Engadget are a bunch of Apple Fanboys anyway :P lol.

That aside, this was amusing, haha. I reckon that all the people who make these things account for most of the Windows users :P Who else would waste time making pie charts telling us things we know? lol
