Net Applications’ Operating System Market Share Trend for Apple Macintosh for December 2005 to November 2007:
More details can be seen via Net Applications’ here.
MacDailyNews Note: As always, the actual percentage numbers are not as important as the trends shown since all “market share” reports have unique measurement sources. Net Applications, for example measures 40,000 corporate and ecommerce websites — how many of which are restricted to WIndows and/or IE, if any, we do not know. Again, what’s important is the trend (and consistent data points). The trend shows Apple’s Macintosh ascending.
how can intel be higher then ppc?
there should be way more ppc macs out there cause they have sold for so much longer
can any1 explain this?
@ ≈yawn≈obelix
Are you looking at the numbers right? From what I can tell, PPC had higher numbers than Intel up until September. That sounds right to me.
^^Apple is selling a lot of new macs!
What is interesting here is that Windows CE is 0.06%, iPod is 0.01%. So if you combine iPod with iPhone, we are close to double the share of WinCE!
One would reasonably assume that PPC Macs are being replaced by Intel Macs as time passes.
Safari is at 5.14% of the browser share this November, and that includes 0.04% Safari on Windows.

First, as people buy new Intel Macs and throw out their old PPC ones, the number of Intels in the world will eventually overtake the number of PPCs in the world (after, supposedly, one generation of computer-ownership.) Also, if Mac growth is really happening so quickly, the number of Intel Macs is increasing even as they don’t replace any PPC ones.
Here is another interesting set of stats: The Mac’s share by state:

It seems that Vermont and Hawaii are ahead of the “Mac states”, followed by California, New York and Oregon.
The Intel share is moving consistently up, except for a blip in June.
“Windows ME: 0.43%”
That must be from the circus freak that hammers nails up his nose. And a few of his pain loving friends.
Isn’t the single Windows Vista entry unfair?
If they break Mac down by PPC and Intel, shouldn’t Vista be broken down by its several versions (including 32 & 64 bit) as well?
Also gotta wonder if there are any Mac OS 8/9 systems still browsing the Net, or if we can assume Mac = Mac OS X.
Why is the iPhone separated from iPod Touch? Don’t they both use the same browser?!
Believe it or not, a local family still uses (if that’s the word) a ME box.
They got it from Wal-Mart “for a great price”. Yes its as far into the computing gutter as you can go.
At this rate we will catch Windows in 2044 and be in their current position in 2080. I’m impressed.
Basil Ganglia,
Assuming a constant rate and eschewing the impact of reaching a tipping point is a mistake Microsoft et al. are hopefully making as well. Not that those bozos can do anything about it even if they do grasp what’s happening.
Intel Macs will gain more ground on this sort of chart than in the actual “real world” because the people surfing these sites are either wealthier (better able to regularly afford a new computer) or at work (see previous). Their new Intel Macs have replaced their slightly aged PPC Macs which have been passed down the line to kids, younger siblings, the local school, people who work for a living, etc – people who’s surfing is less likely to be counted.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

PPS: been meaning to thank MDN for making “Notify” optional – Thanks!
Apple has hobbled the powerful G5 processor with OS X updates in all their “closed architecture” machines.
I’ve been testing a gradual decline in performance with OS updates, some, especially before a paid upgrade, are quite substantial. This way when someone goes to test the newest OS paid upgrade (say Tiger), it’s actually faster than the last OS version, (say Panther w/ all updates in this case).
It’s like doubling your store prices and then declaring the entire store is 30% off. You reap regardless and the customer thinks they are getting a deal.
Apple is just as guilty as Microsoft for promoting feature bloat to motivate premature hardware turnover. Apple is just more clever about getting away with it.
IMMO, Apple wants to get it’s user base over to Intel processors as fast as possible, probably because EFI offers excellent DRM schemes and this will allow a chance of Apple to sell more content through iTunes. NBC bailed because the intel switch wasn’t happening fast enough for them and/or Apple didn’t want to go until it did. Microsoft DRM was ready to go and Apple can’t adopt that. So NBC left.
Anyway that’s my theory.
“It seems that Vermont and Hawaii are ahead of the “Mac states”, followed by California, New York and Oregon.”
so… all the places you can live where it doesn’t suck are pro-Mac states?
i don’t dare click, i am sure Utah is 58th outta 50……
I think PPC will be around for quite some time, there is a huge base of them.
What I think is happening is Apple is selling a huge amount of Intel Mac’s with all these retail stores they are opening.
People feel comfortable with a retail presence for their complicated computer needs.
@ Pete –
Not sure what’s up with YOUR system, but I don’t recognize anything you’re saying. I’ve got a G5 that I’ve steadily upgraded, and I’m currently running 10.4.11. I’m on my computer at least 8 to 10 hours a day (I run my own marketing business), and if there was even a slight “slow-up” I’d have noticed it. It just isn’t true — at least, not in world of real-world utility (Photoshop, Indesign, Freehand, Word, etc.). And I’ve never read any lab tests that show any slow-up of all.
Sounds like it’s time to take a look at the apps on your system and see if any need updating…
The latest update to 10.4 hasn’t pushed me to upgrade to Leopard. In fact, since my biggest system problem was the Safari bookmark problem, and that’s now fixed, I have even LESS reason to upgrade.
Oh, I’ll do it eventually, but that’s in SPITE of (and not because) of the Mac OS’s incremental updates.
For example, the recent upgrade of Safari has definately eliminated a few roadblocks (especially when accessing Bookmarks)
They totally left out the Xbox 360
It looks like almost the entire Apple gain (pitiful as it is) comes at the expense of the “Other” camp with no more than 0.07% coming at the expense of Microsoft.
I agree with MikeK, I don’t see any slowdown due to bloat. My TiPB is just a G4 and it’s snappier than ever! Of course, I’ve maxxed the ram, and put in a new DVD burner and a faster 7200rpm harddrive. I can run my Slingplayer software, and I can run EyeTV 500, which shows uncompressed HiDef. Not bad for a 5 yr old laptop.
Vista is up 1.25% for the month. Mac OS X Intel is up 0.16%.
And Vista is now much bigger than either Mac OS X on Intel or PPC and continues to pull away.
Clearly Vista is a massive commercial failure and Mac OS X is a winner!!!
We’re Number One. We’re Number One (in our minds not in reality).
So in the year to date, Microsoft is down 0.91%
In the same time Apple is up 0.58% and Linux is up 0.22%
Microsoft must be panicking about this seismic shift in the market!
