The latest information from Net Applications shows that the PC operating system market share for Windows 8 has now jumped ahead of all Mac OS systems worldwide for the week of Jan. 20th.

In early December, we reported that Windows 8 users of Valve's Steam service had already jumped ahead of all Mac OS owners. Now there's evidence that Windows 8 is outpacing all of the Mac OS owners around the world for the more mainstream PC audience.

Net Applications' web site shows that for the week of January 20th, Windows 8 was installed on 2.45 percent of all PCs worldwide. That's equal to the most used, and most recent, Mac OS version, Mac OS 10.8. However, when you add in the stats for Windows 8 Touch (their wording, not ours) at 0.08 percent, it gives Windows 8 a market share of 2.53 percent.

Windows 7 still has the highest market share in this latest update with 45.77 percent, followed by Windows XP with 38.18 percent. Windows Vista is third with 5.01 percent. Windows 7 gained some market share in Net Application's data, while Windows XP and Windows Vista's percentage went down. The data that's shown still might change as Net Applications says the information has yet to be reviewed by its own Quality Assurance division.

The next major data update for Net Applications will come on Friday when it releases its PC market share numbers for all of January 2013.

Just like the windows vi$ta disaster, they will support window$ 7 for a longer time until they make a decent window$ 9. I ain't going to window$ 8. Tried it. Very buggy. Even a linux distro is stabler than window$ 8.

ha ha ha ..... I'm surprised vista has more users then 8

Why? :lol:
No answer for this question ha ha ha :D

Vista made an RTM debut in mid 2009 whereas Windows 8 made it's RTM debut towards the last quarter of 2012 - that was not so difficult to understand now, was it? :coolwink:

Despite the 3-year-headstart that Vista enjoys, glad to note that nSane members have displayed more sense (at least) with Windows 8 V/s Vista. ^_^

Nope, not at all - comparing Windows 8 against Windows 7 is quite understandable. Pitching it against Vista is stretching it, too far (the nSane poll is indicative of that.) ;)
