Based on Market Share by Net Applications, from January 2007 to January 2008, the Mac OS X operating system increased market share from 6.22% to 7.57% respectively which translates to an increase of 1.35%.  During this same range of time, Microsoft moved from 93.33% to 91.46% market share for it’s Windows operating systems, a decrease of 1.87%. 

From observation is seems that Microsoft Windows operating systems have been losing market share faster than Mac OS X increases, and there was a floundering about the April- June 2007 timeframe.  This seems to be a direct correlation to Vista and the dissatisfaction with the end users.  Vista SP1 seems to be on the horizon as it went to manufacturing, but will it really fix all the dissatisfiers?  you decide. 

Didn’t Apple just anounce the Macbook Air? I’m going to look at that right now.  I know this is not an exact science, but I feel that Vista will contribute to the market looking to Mac, if nothing else but curiosity!

Apple today is releasing their OS X 10.5 Leopard with over 300+ new features.  This has prompted me to think if my Quicksilver 1.4ghz, 768mb of ram machine will be able to handle this and I’m anticipating a big NO from a lot of users who have already upgraded to Leopard.  Please if anyone has comments, it would be interesting to hear about it.
