Vista and Firefox Gaining Market Share; OS X and Internet Explorer Lose Market Share
Despite all the whining over Windows Vista, the next version of Windows, it seems like Windows Vista is doing pretty well for itself. Figuratively speaking, of course. Windows Vista now accounts for 2.04% of all operating systems installed. This is more than double last month's figure, which was .93%. In direct contrast, despite all the pro-Macintosh advertisements and Macintosh "fanboys", Mac OS X has lost .3% of it's market share, and now accounts for 6.08% of all operating systems installed.
In related news, Mozilla Firefox is gaining market momentum. 15.1% of all internet users access it through Mozilla Firefox, while Internet Explorer users account for 78.6% of all internet users. Apple Safari usage dropped to around 4.51%

Firefox has never let me down, and I recommend it to anyone, as Firefox is the best browser I have owned.
Vista gives me no problems, besides the normal decrease in speed of the system ( but that is expected, all new OS'es do that.) Vista already has shown its potential, and it can only get better. Kudos to Microsoft for listening to our pleads!
I shun all nay-sayers because it is not appropriate to compare aged and mature operating systems to one that just came out a few months ago, it steadily gets better and eventually, it will be considered the OS of choice (although I consider it my OS of choice already.
