Operating System Share

June 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · Geek

Hitslink.com has a cool site. Shows installed base market share for computer hitting sites on the internet. Kind of interesting, although not clear how scientific. Certainly better than counting all those computers that are door stops these days for operating systems#

Operating System Share
Windows 91%
Mac 7.8%
Linux 0.7%
iPhone 0.16%

Windows is still dominant, but interesting to see how even on an installed base basis, Apple is really catching up.

In terms of browsers I was actually kind of amazed to see how popular Firefox is:

Browser Share
Microsoft 73.75%
Firefox 18.41%
Safari 6.25%
Opera 0.71%

Clearly Microsoft and Windows are dominant, but not as much as I would have expected on browser. Means that lots of Windows users are on Firefox these days.

Finally for search engine usage the results are the reverse:

Search Engine Share
Google 78.23%
Yahoo 11.68%
MSN 2.95%
AOL 2.52%
Live Search 2.41%
Ask 1.27%
