ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- A U.S. Web measurement firm said Windows 7 surpassed a 5 percent market share, putting it ahead of the total market share of all Mac OS X operating systems.
The Internet metrics vendor Net Applications said the Windows 7 operating system was operating on 5 percent and 5.17 percent of all computers actively online last Saturday and Sunday respectively, PC World reported Saturday.
Last weekend's average market share of 5.07 percent for Windows 7 surpassed the 5 percent share that Apple's Mac OS X operating system averaged for the week of Nov. 15-21.
"It's safe to say that Windows 7's daily share did peak above Mac's weekly share," said Net Applications executive vice president Vince Vizzaccaro said in an e-mail to PC World.
The Windows 7 system did fall behind Apple's Mac OS X when the new Microsoft system's average market share for Nov. 15-21 was considered. Compared to the 5 percent average enjoyed by Apple, Windows 7 only earned Microsoft a 4.15 share for the week.
Despite such findings, Vizzaccaro was confident Windows 7 would soon surge ahead.
"Certainly, the trend line shows Windows 7 will surpass Mac share soon," he told PC World.
