Apparantly, it's damn lies statistics time again in the Apple world, boys and girls. A few days ago, Net Applications published OS market share figures which showed that the market share of the Mac OS remained largely flat over the past year. However, today, the Switchtoamac website posted an article which looks at the same set of figures in a different way, only to conclude that when you. Apple has a bit freedom to go for marketshare with Apple Silicon. An A14 based SKU: an M1 divided by 2 with 2 p-cores, 4 GPU cores, 8 GB RAM, and 1 TB controller could make for fanless $500 Mac mini and an $800 MBA. That's getting pretty close to 'impulse' buy levels for a lot of folks.

According to global shipment readings from the analytics group IDC, the year 2020 made Chrome OS rise as Windows fell. In the year 2019, IDC showed Windows with a total global PC marketshare at 85.4%. In the year 2020, Windows global marketshare rang in at 80.5%, for a year-over-year fall of 4.9%. Chrome OS global marketshare rose by almost that same percentage over the same period of time.
ICD's readings via GeekWire include all manner of computers with desktop OS onboard, including laptops, desktops, and workstations. They've shown Chrome OS up 4.4% year-over-year, from 6.4% for the entirety of the year 2019, to 10.8% for the entirety of the year 2020.
Apple's macOS, meanwhile, went from 6.7% in the year 2019 to 7.5% in the year 2020 for global marketshare according to the ICD. It's important to note here that the ICD does not include tablet operating systems in this set of readings – so we're not looking at the iPad, just Mac computers.
Mac Vs Windows Market Share
Over the course of 2020, Windows did nothing but fall, each successive quarter. Windows OS Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 2020 read as follows: 87.5%, 81.7%, 78.9%, and 76.7% (global PC OS market share). Apple's macOS went up, then up, then down again – from 5.8% to 7.6% to 8.4% to 7.7%.
Chrome OS global market share went up, up, and up in 2020. Per the ICD numbers, Chrome OS had 5.3% of the market in Q1, then 10%, then 11.5%, and finally 14.4% in Q4.
Google's Chrome OS and Microsoft's Windows OS are available in devices made by a variety of manufacturers, while Apple is the sole manufacturer of macOS devices. If this trend continues, it's likely more manufacturers will cut back on Windows PC production, ramp up production on Chrome OS devices, and Apple will… continue to ride between 5 and 10% of the global market.
Story Timeline
WebSideStory, a provider of outsourced e-business intelligence services, is reporting that the global market share for the Mac operating system has remained at less than 3 percent since January 1999. As of Jan. 2, 2002, it was 2.32 percent, compared to Microsoft's 96.28 percent as of the same date, according to WebSideStory's StatMarket, a source for data on global Internet user trends. Usage share is the percentage of Internet surfers that are using a particular operating system. Not all the news is bad, however.
Laptop Os Market Share
Although Apple has failed to capture the global market share that would allow it to compete with Microsoft on the Web, it has managed to create significant, loyal followings in some countries, according to Geoff Johnston, VP of product marketing for StatMarket. For instance, Apple's usage share in Switzerland as of Jan. 2 was more than 6 percent, almost three times the global average. And in Japan, Mac has fluctuated between 6 and 7 percent since March 2001.
'Although Apple is a distant second in the race overall, in some regions and industries it is too prominent to be ignored by companies developing Web applications,' Johnston said. 'In others, dropping support could actually be the best choice.'

Somewhat contrarily, Time Canada says that recent data suggests that Apple operating systems accounted for only 3.6 percent of new license revenue in 2000, which seems a little strange since that was a good year for Apple financially. Worse, IDC projects that they will amount to even less in 2001 while Microsoft's share of Windows licenses has increased during the same period.

However, there is optimism that Mac OS X will help capture more of the market share for Apple. Unix and Java developers and users are apparently coming to the platform, due to Mac OS X's Unix base and strong Java support. This — and the influx of new applications it will bring — may also lure Unix and Java customers to the Mac platform.
Windows 10 Market Share
And, of course, Apple is hoping that Mac OS X and innovative products — such as the new iMac — will attract new users, as well as convert Windows users. As Apple CEO Steve Jobs put it, the company plans to innovate its way to success.
