Windows XP Market Share Finally Falls Below 50%

An anonymous reader writes "At the end of July 2011, Microsoft can say that Windows XP finally fell below the 50 percent mark. In other words, Redmond's decade-old operating system is now used by less than half of all Internet users."

Apple has been found to give its users a religious experience. I'm sure this has nothing to do with them being a cult.

"The neuroscientists ran a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test on an Apple fanatic and discovered that images of the technology company's gadgets lit up the same parts of the brain as images of a deity do for religious people, the report says.

The first episode of the documentary shows Apple employees "whipped up into some sort of crazy, evangelical frenzy" at the recent opening of an Apple store in London."

Windows 8 brings multi-arch to the Microsoft table. Expect to see Windows 8 on all your shitty ARM tablets, and shitty ARM phones, and shitty ARM netbooks.

Which is why 9 out of 10 proctologists recommend Windows 8. It has your shitty ARM covered.

Still running it on a Dell P4 with 2gb ram. Yet to see a reason to upgrade. I don't game, I don't code. What do I need to upgrade for?

Don't game, don't code. What do ya do?

Google took the Linux kernel and showed what grown ups can do with an open source operating system by absolutely dominating the cellphone OS market.

iOS is the #1 mobile operating system, not Android (and by a large margin). Android only comes out ahead when you compare all Android smartphones to the single iPhone, but if you compare phone to phone, Apple is also now the #1 phone vendor as well as the highest grossing.
