A story at NewsBytes.com quotes an Internet usage study that might be disputed: “When it comes to Web surfing, the Windows series of
operating systems by Microsoft

some of the software giant’s competitors are making small advances.
operating systems by Microsoft
is still dominant, but a study released today said that
some of the software giant’s competitors are making small advances.
As of Oct. 4, Microsoft’s OS held
a 92.82 percent share of global usage. In second place were what the
study termed ‘other’ operating systems, a group that included Microsoft’s
WebTV, Linux, Sun’s SunOS, Silicon Graphics IRIX, Amiga and IBM’s
OS/2. That group measured a collective 3.9 percent of the worldwide
market. Trailing behind were Apple’s Mac OS, with 2.84 percent, and Unix
with 0.44 percent.”
