Windows 7, Mac OS X gain market share
Although the beta of Windows 7 quickly grabbed one-tenth of 1% of the operating system market share last month, Microsoft Corp.'s OS continued its downward trend, a Web measurement company reported Sunday.
Apple Inc. 's Mac OS X , meanwhile, posted gains for the third month in a row, edging even closer to a 10% share, according to data from Net Applications Inc.
In January, 88.3% of the people who browsed the Web sites that Net Applications monitors did so using machines powered by Windows, a 0.42 percentage point drop from December. In the last 90 days, Windows has lost 2.2 percentage points, its steepest three-month slide in the four years that Net Applications has collected operating system data via the Web.
The three-month decline was twice as large as the previous record, set between December 2006 through February 2007, when Windows lost 1.1 percentage points.
On the bright side, Windows 7's public kick-off last month was a success, said Net Applications. Prior to release of the beta on Jan. 10, the successor to Vista accounted for just 0.03% of the total operating system market share. After Windows 7 beta's launch -- problem plagued though it was -- the average daily share jumped to 0.14%.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
