For the month of August, Linux fell to a 0.85 per cent share, the third month in a row that the open-source operating system lost ground. Windows and Apple 's Mac OS were the No. 1 and No. 2 operating systems on the Web, with 91.3 per cent and 5 per cent, respectively.
"It's something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes something that's been around forever," said Vince Vizzaccaro, a Net Applications vice president, talking about iOS overtaking Linux. "Mobile's growth curve is strong and mobile is becoming quite a phenomenon on the Internet."
Net Applications' numbers don't reflect devices sold or operating systems licensed or installed, but do show how much browsing people do from specific hardware and operating systems. And clearly, mobile users take to the Web.
