Vista Use Grows as Mac OS X Stays Flat

jdelator writes to mention ComputerWorld is reporting that Microsoft's Windows Vista has increased their market share steadily every month while their main opponent, Mac OS X, has remained essentially flat. "According to Net Applications, in June Windows Vista accounted for 4.52% of all systems that browsed the Web, up from January's 0.18%. Vista has grown its usage share each month since its release to consumers Jan. 30, hitting 0.93% in February, 2.04% in March, 3.02% in April and 3.74% in May. Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X, meanwhile, accounted for 6.22% in January and hit its high point of 6.46% in May, but it slipped back to 6% in June. If Vista's uptake trend continues, it should pass Mac OS X in Web usage share by the end of August."

Re:2 percent, not 6 percent for OS X

What you don't factor in is that those 2% are not just computer owners, but rabid evangalists of the Mac Platform.
They all have ipods and couldn't wait for the iphone to come out. They'd rather scratch their eyes out than use a wintel
computer. Apple should just kiss them all goodbye and make ipods and phones. That makes a whole lot of sense.
Lets alienate our core consumers that are willing to pay ABOVE MARKET prices for our hardware!
