Windows 7 overtakes Vista on PCPro.co.uk

linux closing in?

Is the real story here that Linux is up to 7.2%, closing in on osX.
Or does the linux score include android?

I agree with darkhairedlord 7.2% using linux is quite impressive.

breakdown?

Can you also tell the breakdown of Mac OS X and Linux?
E.g what % of Mac OS are on the new Snow Leopard,
Are the new Macs really flying of the shelves?

Interesting to see if the % of Windows 7 and Snow Leopard operating systems before and
after Xmas.

“One viewer complained “

With Vista and Windows 7 it's very quick and easy to e-mail an attachment.
Just use the 'send to e-mail' option. I'm sure most 5 year old boys could do it ( plus some girls too, however boys more often grasp tech quicker at a young age).


“One viewer complained “

I understood the advertising watchdog did not consider any complaint until enough complaints are received to justify them to bother to look into the complaint.

Meh

"E.g what % of Mac OS are on the new Snow Leopard,

I dont think PC Pro is a good site for judging online OS useage. It a too focused site, you need a more generic website such as the beeb.

That's closer to the real figures although I understand that Windows 7 has since climbed to over 5% and Mac share has dropped .15%

Where's Windows 95 gone?

So Barry, what's happened to Windows 95? Last time you published stats, you claimed that more users were still using W95 than Linux, or MAC OSX or W98/Me!!

OSX visits not representative of market

Just a thought. I used to be a PC user and regularly visited your web site. Since moving to OSX, my visits to your site have reduced as your magazine primarily showcases PCs.
