The latest operating system that was recently released by Microsoft now holds an eight percent share in the OS market, while Windows XP continues to lose speed. This is as per the new status from NetApplications. The Windows 8 upgrade continues to find its way to the operating system ranks and the XP operating system is losing its grip on the market. The stats that were released by Web tracker Net Applications gave the Windows 8 OS an 8.02 percent of all the desktop operating system Web traffic for the month of September. This is a hike from the 7.41 percent in August and 5.4 percent in the month of July.
In the first place, the earlier Windows 7 OS has shown resurgence in the recent months and has taken home a share of 46.4 percent in the month of September, 45.6% in August and 44.4% in July. The Windows 8.1 OS that debuted as a preview edition in late June will be released officially on Oct 18, which accounted for 0.87% of desktop OS Web traffic for the month of September. This is up from 0.24% the month before. These statistics clearly show that Windows XP is shedding its once dominant position and that the Windows 8 operating system is gaining speed. This is obviously happy news for those users who have done the Windows 8 upgrade.
In the world of mobile operating systems, the iOS from Apple remained firmly on top. It had a share of 53.6 percent of the market. However, the hold of this OS in the market has been readily dropping over the last year. This is as per the data from Net Applications. In the month of September 2012, the iOS had a share of more than 63 percent of the total mobile OS market.
The reason for the decline of the iOS is the steady increase in sales of Android OS. Android has been moving up the charts, especially in the last few months. For the month of September, the mobile OS by Google had a share of 29.4 percent that was up from 28.1 percent the month before and 25.2% in July. This shows that Android OS is becoming more and more popular among the mobile users for its unique and user friendly features.
