Great info Dan. I see the future in mobile for the average user. Really at home with someone who does nothing but web browsing and email what would you need the headache of a computer operating system? Many average users here at my work have stopped using their home computers I say the day of the computer as a must have item is done. Users will continue to have tablets and mobile phones as their access to the internet.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Crutcher Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 10:43 AM To: Topics related to Apple and Macintosh computers Subject: [MacGroup] Louisville.com stats for OS For the past several years I've posted to this group the December statistics for operating systems used by computers that access our website, Louisville.com<http://Louisville.com>. This year's 2012 OS stats give the breakdown by percentage of the 120,897 computer users who visited Louisville.com<http://Louisville.com> in December 2012 and compares this year's numbers to the same month's numbers going back to 2007. The continuing and still accelerating decline of Windows as the OS of people coming to the site is particularly striking, as is the meteoric rise of the mobiles, iOS and Android. 2013 will no doubt be the year that Windows visitors drop to less than half of the users visiting our site. Who would have predicted that in 2007? I have no idea how our stats (from Google Analytics) compare to national stats, but I have no reason to think that Louisville.com<http://Louisville.com> would differ much from other sites. If anyone has national stats, I'd like to see them.
