Mac gain 10% of Web Share
Web use statistics prove that the Mac continues to gain even more market share from Windows-based computers. According to various web analysts Mac web share has increased by 0.3% since December 2008 which is a staggering figure. Even use of Apple’s Safari browser have increased to 8.29 percent in January, up from 7.93 per cent in December. However some of those Safari hits come iPhone and iPod touch users and others come from people who are fooled into installing Apple’s browser on their Windows machine.
The strong percentage increase in December could of been down to the fact that people are more inclined to stay at home where the Mac is more of a home computer rather than business so that may explain it. However even though people returned to work in January 2008 which is a sign that Windows is really starting to loose its grip on the web market.
The seemingly minor monthly rise works out to an annualized rate of 3.6% and 3.6% rise in market share is far from small potatoes especially considering that in the declining market through which the world is currently grunting and groaning, every user is precious. Apple always seem to do better with machines for the home rather than the business because they are far more fun and easier to use. Windows machines are normally used in the office for business where Windows machines are very useful.
This is just adding to the ever growing battle between Windows and Apple Mac which seems to never end. Personally, I really don’t mind either machine interface. They offer unique things depending on what you want to use it for. Either home or office. The choice is entirely up to you! Although I personally use Mac machines as they are far easier to use and never let you down. Windows machines are more inclined to work for about two or three years and thats it.
