Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Apple's secret business weapon? (InfoWorld)

InfoWorld - Judging from initial accounts, the next version of the Mac OS X, named Snow Leopard, will be aimed squarely at business and enterprise users, signaling a formal push by Apple to take Windows head on outside the consumer and education markets. "Apple is taking the Mac OS one step closer to the enterprise," says Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research.

Does Apple have an OS X update up its sleeve?

Rumor sites have speculated that OS X 10.6 could be previewed at next week's WWDC and released as soon as January’s Macworld Expo. Here’s one take on why this seemingly odd timing might make sense.

Mac OS X approaches 8% market share

Section: Apple, iPhone + Communications, iPhone, Mac + Computers, Software, Operating Systems, Leopard, Linux, OS-X, Tiger, Windows Net Applications, an online company that is geared towards finding the market shares of various companies, has found that Mac OS X is in second place for operating systems with a 7.94% share. Let’s just round and bring that up to 8%, alright? The only operating system beating Mac OS X is obviously Windows with a solid 90.89% share. In third comes your favorite open source operating system, Linux, with a .8% market share. However, the fourth place entry is sort of interesting; it’s the iPhone, not far behind Linux with a .16% share, and I’m sure the iPhone 3G will bring that number up. When you think about it, 8% is a huge number. With billions of computers worldwide, Mac OS X has made a significant dent in the operating system market, and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon. If Apple keeps innovating and keeps making their operating system more appealing to Windows users, they will surely surpass 10% in the near future.  With Snow Leopard around the corner, it will be interesting to see what happens.
