Latest Stats as at 22/3/2010.
============================

These figures cover the 9-day period 1/3/2010 to 9/3/2010.

Owing to a web hosting system failure followed by poor support 
from the hosting company Hostway, no log files were made 
available for 10th to 15th March 2010 and the log file 
for 9th March was incomplete.

With a smaller sample size it's harder to draw good conclusions.

Operating System Market Share
==============================

For period 1st to 9th March 2010, these percentage figures 
are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:-

XP 49.0 (48.9, 50.0, 49.4, 49.9, 50.4, 54.7, 54.8, 56.1, 56.3, 57.1)
Vista 22.1 (22.9, 22.4, 24.1, 24.3, 24.6, 23.4, 24.8, 25.1, 25.8)
Windows-7 9.7 (9.3, 8.0, 7.3, 6.1, 5.3, 4.2, 3.4, 2.8, 1.9, 1.5, 1.2) 
Other Windows 4.0 (4.0, 4.3, 4.0, 3.5, 3.9, 3.9, 3.2, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4)
Mac 10.4 (10.0, 10.2, 10.1, 10.6, 10.1, 9.6, 9.5, 9.2, 9.2, 8.7, 8.7)
iPhone 1.9 (2.1, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1,3, 1.1, 0.9)
Other Mobiles 1.7 (1.5, 1.7, 1.6, 2.0, 1.9, 1.5, 1.5, 1.3, 1.2, 1.6)
Linux 1.3 (1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.4, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2) 

Windows 7 did not break the 10% mark, as had been expected.  
Previous figures (rounded down) count 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9.

Nobody talks about Vista any more.  Its peak was 25.8% (August 2009 
and October 2009) and it was a very long flat peak, with nine 
measurements of 25.0% and over between July 2009 and November 2009. 

Now, if you add the results for Vista and Windows 7 together, 
and call it "Microsoft's replacement for XP", you could be forgiven 
for concluding that this too has stalled at a bit over 30%.  
The smartphone revolution has already started and the
corporate office is hanging on to XP.

The total sample size was 10118 visits by humans.

Browser Breakup
===============

Percentages of visits for the period 1st to 9th March 2010:-

IE 57.6 (56.8, 57.2, 56.1, 57.0, 55.7, 60.0, 59.9, 60.0, 60.6, 60.6)
FF 23.5 (24.1, 24.9, 25.3, 24.4, 25.1, 24.1, 24.5, 24.8, 24.6, 24.7)  
Safari 9.6 (9.6, 9.8, 9.2, 9.7, 10.2, 10.5, 8.6, 8.4, 8.1, 8.0, 7.7)
Chrome 5.4 (5.7, 5.1, 5.1, 4.6, 5.1, 3.9, 3.9, 4.0, 3.2, 3.5, 2.8)
Opera 1.7 (1.5, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.5, 1.9, 1.9, 1.7, 1.9)
All Others 2.2, 2.1, 2.1, 2.3, 2.1, 2.2, 1.8, 1.7, 1.5, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5)
  
IE is holding on and Firefox has declined. 

Unless there is a rethink at the Mozilla Foundation, that 
25.3% for Firefox might be their highest ever market share.

Taken over all the figures, Chrome is the clear winner.

The sample size was 9839 visits by humans.

Search Engines Share
==================== 

Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines 
for March 1st to 9th, 2010:-

Google 89.1 (90.1, 89.6, 89.5, 88.1, 89.5, 88.0, 88.4, 87.7, 87.6)
Yahoo 4.9 (4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5.9, 5.1, 4.6, 5.5, 5.8, 6.1, 6.1, 5.8, 5.3)
Microsoft 3.5 (3.0, 3.1, 2.7, 3.0, 2.8, 4.0, 3.3, 3.9, 3.4, 3.5, 2.8)
All others 2.6 (2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 2.9, 2.6, 3.3, 2.8, 2.6, 2.9, 2.8, 2.9)

A slight decline for Google translates as quite big increases at
Yahoo and Microsoft.  Hard to believe, but we'll see next time.

The sample size here was 7933.
