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

For period 1st to 15th February 2010, these percentage figures 
are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:-

XP 50.0 (49.4, 49.9, 50.4, 54.7, 54.8, 56.1, 56.3, 57.1, 57.6, 58.3)
Vista 22.4 (24.1, 24.3, 24.6, 23.4, 24.8, 25.1, 25.8, 25.5, 25.4)
Windows-7 8.0 (7.3, 6.1, 5.3, 4.2, 3.4, 2.8, 1.9, 1.5, 1.2, 1.1) 
Other Windows 4.3 (4.0, 3.5, 3.9, 3.9, 3.2, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.4)
Mac 10.2 (10.1, 10.6, 10.1, 9.6, 9.5, 9.2, 9.2, 8.7, 8.7, 8.0, 8.5)
iPhone 1.8 (2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1,3, 1.1, 0.9)

Linux 1.4 (1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.4, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2) 

Windows XP is right on the 50% point.  
Windows 7 has risen yet again whilst Vista is clearly falling.
And those older versions of Windows like Windows 2000 and 
Windows 2003 just won't go away.

There were two visits from a robot called "TripAdvisor" but
it wasn't the "iPad" after all.  

The total sample size was 16083 visits by humans.

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

Percentages of visits for the period 1st to 15th February 2010:-

IE 57.2 (56.1, 57.0, 55.7, 60.0, 59.9, 60.0, 60.6, 60.6, 60.6, 62.0)
FF 24.9 (25.3, 24.4, 25.1, 24.1, 24.5, 24.8, 24.6, 24.7, 25.7, 24.2)  
Safari 9.2 (9.7, 10.2, 10.5, 8.6, 8.4, 8.1, 8.0, 7.7, 7.7, 7.2)
Chrome 5.1 (5.1, 4.6, 5.1, 3.9, 3.9, 4.0, 3.2, 3.5, 2.8, 3.3, 2.6)
Opera 1.4 (1.5, 1.6, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.5, 1.9, 1.9, 1.7, 1.9, 1.9)
All Others 2.1 (2.3, 2.1, 2.2, 1.8, 1.7, 1.5, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5, 1.4)

  
Overall, the Firefox browser seems to be in the doldrums.
However Firefox 3.6 has seen rapid adoption 
in the last two weeks, and is now well ahead of Firefox 2.0.
My local Internet Cafe (once a 1-hour film developing shop)
has Firefox 3.0.0.1, but Firefox 3.5 is the dominant version.

The total sample size was 15870 visits by humans.

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

Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines 
for February 1st to 15th, 2010:-

Google 89.6 (89.5, 88.1, 89.5, 88.0, 88.4, 87.7, 87.6, 87.5, 88.5)
Yahoo 4.5 (4.8, 5.9, 5.1, 4.6, 5.5, 5.8, 6.1, 6.1, 5.8, 5.3, 6.3)
Microsoft 3.1 (2.7, 3.0, 2.8, 4.0, 3.3, 3.9, 3.4, 3.5, 2.8, 2.3)
All others 2.8 (3.0, 2.9, 2.6, 3.3, 2.8, 2.6, 2.9, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0)

The decline of Yahoo continues with another result under 5.0%.
It looks like the "partnership" with Microsoft has had
"unexpected consequences" as they might say in the business pages.

Microsoft's Bing has improved slightly and is above the "others"
category again.  The total for Yahoo plus Bing is under 10% 
of Google, so their long term viability is flakey.  The difficult 
question is knowing what Google is NOT doing, as opposed to 
copying what they are doing, badly of course. 

The sample size here was 12420.
