As we do it from time to time, we have been looking at the details of our visitor stats, trying to identify those already using Snow Leopard. The day before its official availability, 6% of our readers were already tagged as running SL. If among them we would find developers, other might have already get the "Golden Master" version available on P2P network. We then look at the way the switch to Snow Leopard took place between August 28th and September 4th:
 Figures are impressive and speak by themselves. On the evening of the first official availability day, SL was already running on the computer of 11.5% of our Mac visitors. Impressive. In one week, 42% of our Mac visitors already switch to SL. According to our projections within the next 72 hours, Mac OS X 10.6 will become the most used OS among our Mac visitors. This is a very fast process, nothing related to the move from Window XP to Vista or even Windows XP/Vista to Windows 7 beta. Last but not least, the number of visitors using a PPC-based computer is now stable (around 15%), and SL should probably convince most of them to slowly upgrade to a Intel-based Mac.

Snow Leopard didn't convince me to upgrade my G5. My G5 dieing made me upgrade. That said, I still haven't upgraded my new system to Snow Leopard even though the installer came in the box due to the CS3 incompatibilities.

I am so happy to know about this happening! I wish much success to Apple, and I would like to see their browser and OS sharing over 20% the world marketplace!
If Apple allowed assistance to OS X users running it on a PC, I do believe that OS X would take over 90% the machines worldwide in a matter of 5 years. Apple should play dirty or in real words, "play with quality" and invade the market of Microshit with the same practice... to license others to run its OS X SL. The problem on Apple is not Microshit, but the huge number of brands of cheaper computers that are blocked by Apple itself from using its OS. Apple digs its own grave! |
