It’s been a fortnight since Windows 7 was officially launched worldwide. It now makes up more than 3.6 per cent of all PCs tracked by research firm Net Applications.
Net Applications tracks operating system (OS) usage statistics through information reported by internet browser software. On October 21, the day before the official launch, Windows 7 usage was at 1.89 per cent, according to Channel Register. By launch day, the number hit 1.99 per cent, rising to 3.67 percent it hit on November 1.
Throughout October, various versions of Windows made up 92.52 percent of the browsing market, with the Mac OS X taking 5.27 per cent, and Linux at 0.96 per cent. Despite the steadily growing Windows 7 share, Microsoft's OS as a whole have been falling as Windows had nearly 94 per cent of the market in December 2008. Share of Mac OS X and mobile browsers appears to have modestly risen in its place.
