Still far behind both Windows XP and Mac's OS, Vista made solid gains over the past year.

Hate it or love it, Microsoft's Windows Vista is finding its way into increasingly more PCs with its market share going up by an impressive 297% in the last 12 months. Based on the data provided by Net Applications, the increase in OS market share topped 16.14% in June while just one year ago it only secured 5.43% of PCs for itself.

Mac OS has also done pretty good in the last year, as it went up 32% to reach 7.94% in June. As for the immortal OS, Windows XP, it went down almost 1% but it still has a dominant position due to its 71.20% share. Going back to Vista, if the current trend continues, it should surpass the 30% mark before Spring 2009 ends. That won't mean much if Windows 7 ships in early 2010 though. Sorry Vista, we're with 7.

I figure i am going to keep running XP until the next OS release

I may play around with 64 bit Vista but so far XP still runs faster.
