Windows 7 has surpassed the Mac OS X in market share, moving to almost 6 percent in its first month of release. All Mac OS X versions combined have an estimated 5.27 percent market share, according to Net Applications.
"It's safe to say that Windows 7's daily share did peak above Mac's weekly share," said Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president at Net Applications, to PCWorld.
Overall, Windows market share increased marginally to 92.64 percent for the week ended November 21st, up from 92.52 percent.
"We may be seeing an uptick in overall Windows share this month," added Vizzaccaro. "This isn't too rare, but if we see three or four months in a row of Windows regaining market share, that would be a significant trend change."
Windows 7 market share has been growing steadily since launch, increasing over 20 percent each week.
