Windows 7 - 微软对抗Mac和Linux的武器

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：Windows 7 - 微软对抗Mac和Linux的武器

 无论是Vista SP1还是XP SP3，都未能挽回Windows在操作系统市场上的颓势。即使微软发布了最新的服务包，Vista和XP也无法阻止Mac OS X和Linux的上升势头。Vista和XP的市场份额在12月底已经跌到了88.68%，而对抗Mac OS X和Linux的任务则留给了Windows 7。

Windows 7目前已经处于Beta阶段，而公众Beta版本也即将发布了。而微软将直接从Beta版本过渡到RC版本，然后直接RTM。最终很有可能会在2009年圣诞节期间发布。其后，正如Vista和XP一样，Windows 7将会逐步蚕食掉其前任的市场份额，并与Mac OS X和Linux展开竞争。

Vista and XP have taken Window's overall usage share down to 88.68% at the end of December 2008, leaving Windows 7 to deal with OS X and Linux.

According to statistics published by Net Applications, Windows' market share has dropped from 91.79%, at the end of December 2007, to just 88.68%, at the end of the past year. At the same time, Mac OS X now accounts for approximately 10% of the operating system market, with a share of 9.63%.
