“July was a very good month”.. “OS X was sharply higher in usage” ( 0.16 percent ) since Apple users cannot affoard to travel after having spent an arm and a leg on buying the computer..:)

This is hilarious. Apple’s market share is restated as 50% lower than they used to be and this is a GOOD thing? And then you claim that Apple’s 4.86% at “least” isn’t as bad as Linux’s 1.05%? Dude, considering the press Apple gets and the claims so commonly made about Linux being “unusable” those numbers are ASTONISHING. Linux apparently not only can compete with Apple on the desktop, but is doing so without the press hype and widely held reputation of Apple the media darling. To spin this as anything other than terrible news for Apple is to bury your head in the sand.

In the last numbers for “Operating System” form Net Application in May, Mac (Sic) was a little less then 10%.
No numbers for June.
In July Mac [OS X] market share was cut in half.

I do not find that approach serious.

Simon, thanks for commenting. It’s always good to know that “inside baseball” type articles market share aren’t only of interest to me. As curious as I sometimes find Net Applications methodology, their monthly numbers tend to bear out what Apple officially reports quarterly.
