Vista Internet Use Up (and Mac Down) in October

Written on November 03, 2008 by Tom Reestman and 3 people have commented

Fortune’s Philip Elmer-DeWitt comments on the latest Internet market share numbers from Net Applications. Seems Vista got a bump in October while the Mac went down, and he’s curious as to why. 
It’s important to note that, as Philip himself explains, these numbers are an inexact measurement in the first place:

Microsoft Windows 7 Sooner Rather Than Later

Written on October 27, 2008 by Tom Reestman and 5 people have commented

Defending Apple’s Good Looks

Written on November 14, 2007 by Arvin Dang and 18 people have commented

The Apple nay-sayers of today offer what they think is a solid argument against the Apple consumer; that Apple’s “game” is solely based on good looks alone and, as such, Apple consumers are nothing more then superficial ego-consumers who buy the product solely for social value. Trend, it would seem, is the buying power for [...]
