The total web share for Windows fell by 0.19 percentage points during the month of Windows 7's release, which is hardly good news for Microsoft. The figures for the coming months - which includes the holiday buying season in significant parts of the world - will make interesting reading.StatCounter's Cullen said "Mac OS X grew over the same period in the US from 11.29% to 11.87%," but its worldwide share saw a smaller rise from 4.68% to 4.79%.
Net Applications reported broadly similar worldwide numbers: 5.06% in September, rising to 5.18% in October.
Linux's worldwide share also rose fractionally, from 0.66% to 0.72% (StatCounter) or from 0.95% to 0.96% (Net Applications).
It is important to remember that both StatCounter and Net Applications report web share, not market share.
Web share is derived from the data provided by web browsers when they visit any of the sites monitored by the companies. StatCounter says its numbers come from 4.7 billion page views from more than 3 million sites, while Net Applications' data reflects some 160 million visitors per month.
