Based on current trends, it appears that Microsoft's dominant Operating System (OS) will be around for some time. According to a December 2009 report by Net Applications, Microsoft still commands a whopping 92.21 percent of the total OS market (see the table above). Interestingly, despite all the hype, the Mac OS only accounts for 5.11 percent of the total. Moreover, at 5.71 percent of the total, Microsoft's recently released Windows 7 alone edges out the Mac OS share. And even though Windows 7 launched with rave reviews, Windows XP still holds 67.77 percent of the total OS share.
