That's in the US. In the rest of the world, it's around 5%.
- w1ntermute 13y agoAccording to this site[0], it's at 7.54%. Out of that, only 32% are running the latest version of OS X (10.9). Another 24.5% are running 10.8. So almost half of OS X users are at least 2 versions behind. Not nearly as up-to-date as you might think. 0: http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share....
- pudquick 13y agoSo what you're saying is that greater than 56% of Macs are running operating systems at most 1.5 years old ? (10.8 + 10.9). God I wish the numbers were like that for Windows.
- w1ntermute 13y agoWell, it's a good thing then that you can't make a direct comparison between the two OSes. Apple doesn't care about developers, quickly deprecating APIs. Therefore, targeting an Apple OS that's 1.5 years old is much more tedious than targeting a Microsoft OS that's 1.5 years old.
