Mac share grew after Windows 7 debut ($AAPL) ($MSFT)

If Microsoft (MSFT) was hoping that the launch of Windows 7 would halt the erosion of its operating system market share - and curb further inroads by Apple (AAPL) - there is no evidence that it's working yet. In fact, preliminary data released overnight Sunday by Net Applications show Mac OS X's Internet share growing by 2.73% in October, from 5.12% to 5.26%. Windows' Internet presence, meanwhile, fell from 92.77% to 92.54% - its ninth loss in 12 months. Windows 7's share, however, was more than 2% even before its Oct. 22 general release, thanks to widespread use of early release versions. By Oct. 30 the Windows 7 portion was 2.85%, largely at the expense of Windows XP, according to a separate Net Applications report. (fortune.cnn.com)
