The real news in the latest marketshare numbers

When the June Net Applications Marketshare report was released, there was a great deal of discussion in the Apple World about the Mac approaching 8% of operating system share in the world. That wasn't the real news though.

Windows was at #1 with 90.89%, Mac in second with 7.94%, and Linux in third with a surprisingly low .8% Look at number four though. In just one year on the market, the iPhone accounted for .16% of marketshare according to Net Applications measurements. (Net Applications' methods are another discussion, but let's say relatively speaking these numbers are accurate) The iPhone OS, following the 3G phone launch could easily become the third most popular operating system by this time next year, if not sooner.
