Operating System Market Share ============================== For the period 16th to 31st March 2012, these percentage figures are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:- Windows-7 34.3 (34.7, 33.7, 32.1, 31.7, 31.4, 30.7, 31.6) XP 23.7 (23.9, 24.5, 25.9, 25.6, 24.0, 23.6, 29.6, 27.4) Vista 7.4 (7.3, 7.5, 7.6, 8.2, 8.3, 8.7, 8.9, 9.4, 8.7) Pre-XP Windows 1.1 (1.3, 1.2, 1.4, 1.2, 0.9, 0.9, 1.7, 1.9) Mac 12.5 (12.4, 12.3, 12.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.7, 12.3) iPhone etc 14.4 (13.9, 14.1, 13.8, 14.7, 16.7, 16.7, 10.6) Android 2.9 (2.7, 2.8, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 2.0, 2.5, 2.1) Other Mobiles 2.9 (2.9, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.2, 3.6, 3.1) Linux 0.8 (0.8, 1.0, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.9, 0.8, 0.8, 0.7) Nothing much to see here. As previously, iPhones (including iPads and iPods) remain well ahead of all Android phones. However visits from Samsung phones have shot up yet again, and it would be reasonable to say that the Samsung Galaxy is the preferred Android phone, as an alternative to the iPhone. Nokia is slipping. The total sample size above was 17315.
