NetMarketShare's desktop operating system market share metrics for September 2011 show the Mac OS up significantly by more than a third of a point, Linux up a smidge as well, and Windows off by roughly a third of a point, most of which went to Apple's OS.

Operating System Versions
In terms of OS specific versions, Windows is still out in front by a wide margin, with greybeard XP still hanging on to a greater than 50 percent percent market share while Windows 7 continues to grow, now over 30 percent. Apple's OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard—at 25 months since its release in August, 2009, and now superseded by OS X 10.7 Lion—remains the most prolific Mac OS version by far, and actually increased its share in September. However, OS X 10.7 Lion has now displaced OS X v10.5 Leopard in second place in the Apple OS spectrum by a substantial margin, with OS X 10.4 Tiger now just holding on to a O.30 share. As noted, Linux gained a bit and is solidly back above a one percent share.
