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

For the period 16th to 30th April 2010, these percentage figures 
are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:-

XP 48.1 (46.6, 49.4, 49.0, 48.9, 50.0, 49.4, 49.9, 50.4, 54.7, 54.8)
Vista 20.8 (22.4, 21.9, 22.1, 22.9, 22.4, 24.1, 24.3, 24.6, 23.4)
Windows-7 11.4 (11.4, 10.4, 9.7, 9.3, 8.0, 7.3, 6.1, 5.3, 4.2, 3.4) 
Other Windows 3.0 (2.5 (2.7, 4.0, 4.0, 4.3, 4.0, 3.5, 3.9, 3.9, 3.2)
Mac 11.6 (11.2, 10.4, 10.4, 10.0, 10.2, 10.1, 10.6, 10.1, 9.6, 9.5)
iPhone 2.0 (2.4, 2.1, 1.9, 2.1, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3)
Other Mobiles 1.7 (2.0, 1.8, 1.7, 1.5, 1.7, 1.6, 2.0, 1.9, 1.5, 1.5)
Linux 1.4 (1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.5, 1.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2) 

The Windows-7 figure is now more than half the Vista figure, 
but the decline of XP is very slow.

Picture this, in ten years time there will a substantial number 
of people still using XP, far more than the 3.0% still using 
pre-XP versions of Windows, including a loyal 0.6% still using 
Windows 98. 

The iPhone result includes four iPad visits.

The total sample size was a 16799 visits by humans.


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

Percentages of visits for the period 16th to 30th April 2010:-

IE 54.4 (52.3, 55.3, 57.6, 56.8, 57.2, 56.1, 57.0, 55.7, 60.0, 59.9
FF 24.5 (26.0, 25.4, 23.5, 24.1, 24.9, 25.3, 24.4, 25.1, 24.1, 24.5)  
Safari 11.5 (11.5, 9.8, 9.6, 9.6, 9.8, 9.2, 9.7, 10.2, 10.5, 8.6)
Chrome 6.2 (6.3, 5.9, 5.4, 5.7, 5.1, 5.1, 4.6, 5.1, 3.9, 3.9, 4.0)
Opera 1.6 (1.7, 1.5, 1.7, 1.5, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.5)
All Others 1.8 (2.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.1, 2.1, 2.3, 2.1, 2.2, 1.8, 1.7)
  
Perhaps the previous results were a little off the mark.  
This fortnight seems more reasonable, 
with a more gradual decline for IE. 

The sample size was 16373 visits by humans.
 
Search Engines Share
==================== 

Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines 
for April 16th to 30th, 2010:-

Google 90.5 (90.1, 90.6, 89.1, 90.1, 89.6, 89.5, 88.1, 89.5, 88.0)
Yahoo 3.8 (4.4, 4.5, 4.9, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5.9, 5.1, 4.6, 5.5, 5.8)
Microsoft 2.9 (2.7, 2.5, 3.5, 3.0, 3.1, 2.7, 3.0, 2.8, 4.0, 3.3)
All others 2.8 (2.7, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 2.9, 2.6, 3.3, 2.8)

This is the month you should not believe anything you read 
about Bing and Yahoo.  Firstly the CEO of Yahoo said all sorts of 
things about Yahoo that can't possibly be true.  

Second, I read a column in a magazine that gushed on about Bing,
saying how it has a wider and better range of products than Google.

Typical articles, probably planted, just as predicted. 
   
The sample size above was 12992 searches.
