Windows 8 Finally Edges Past Apple’s OS X With 7.4% Market Share vs. 7.3%

| Posted on |

Appleinsider’s Kevin Bostic notes that while itt hasn’t been nearly as rapid market share take-up as Microsoft hoped and promised a year ago, the Windows 8 platform continues to inch forward in market share, finally surpassing the overall installed base for Apple’s Mac OS X nearly a year after Microsoft’s latest operating system was released.

Bostic cites the latest figures from Net Applications showing Windows 8 with a 7.4 percent share of all desktop OS web traffic for August, significantly up two full percentage points from the 5.4 percent share Win 8 held at the beginning of August, and just edging out Apple’s 7.3 percent for all OS X version installs. However he notes that Apple’s dominance in tablets means that it’s still beating Windows 8 where most observers believe it counts.
