Net Applications reports Windows 7's usage share has hit 10.23 percent in March. Microsoft's latest operating system is almost twice as popular as Mac OS X, and is on track to overtake Windows Vista's marketshare of 16.01 percent.
According to Net Application's latest round of numbers, Windows 7 broke 10% usage share in March, settling in at about 10.23%.
At the same time, Windows Vista garnered a 16.01% usage share, while Windows XP still reigned supreme with 64.46% in total. Windows 7 looks to have made some nice gains since February, when the same three operating systems had usage shares of 8.92%, 16.51%, and 65.49%, respectively. The new Windows OS's usage share growth seems to have happened at the expense of Windows XP more than Windows Vista, too. That suggests Windows 7 is seducing folks who stuck with XP through the Vista years—good news for Microsoft, surely.
