XP is at 68%

Windows total is over 90% still. This probably understates total Windows share on machines as a LOT of Windows machines are not hitting the web since they are business, whereas MAC is almost all personal. MAC share is a tad over 8% though there worldwide sales are still under 4% according to IDC.

Firefox up to about 20%. Chrome is under 1%. Opera also under 1%.

Linux ain't doing so great as usual on the desktop but that is set to change when PC makers start up the 'instant on Linux' feature. Interesting to see how much it will change.

Windows Vista Market Statistics

OK here’s some rough calculations:

19.29% of internet users are Vista
http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=11

1.46 billion internet users
http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm

Assuming the usage rate is consistent around the world…
1.46 billion * 19.29% = 282 million Vista internet users

The actually user base would be significantly less than the above number only if for some reason, Vista users surf the internet WAY MORE than all other OS's to skew the percentage up to 19.29%. It’s probably more likely that that some Vista users don’t use the internet much because it’s for work mostly. Hence there is likely more than 282 million Vista users.

Hitslink logs statistics in the “rich” (and more regulated) demographics. Here Vista adoption is probably held back a little by expense. So that could mean that Vista adoption in other “poorer” (Gov’t don’t give a crap) nations is much greater than 19.29% since you can like buy it at the local fruit shop for like $1, etc.

So, if you include ALL of Asia? 500 million Vista users??? ;)
