Vista users up, OS X users flat

It would only make sense that a new product sales go up when something first gets released.  With that said, Microsoft’s Vista operating systems share of users online has increased every month so far this year.  Apple’s OS X users have remained flat.

About 4.5% of all the systems on the web are using Vista this June, compared to 0.18% in January.  In the beginning of the year OS X users accounted for about 6.22% and are now at about 6%.

If this trend keeps up OS X will be outpaced by Vista by the end of August.

In the world of Mac the older Power PC computers made up 4.34% of users while the Intel based PCs made up 1.8%.  That gap closed since January with the Power PC chip now at 3.5% and the Intel Macs at 2.48%.

Now looking at Microsoft’s numbers, they have gone flat as well.  All Windows operating systems counted up to about 90% of users for the past 6 months.  XP accounted for 85.02% and went down to 81.94%.
