According to the most recent data from NetApplications, it appears that Mac OS X has surpassed Windows Vista in terms of global web usage.
For August, Vista fell to 6.15 percent. On the other hand, Apple's latest, 10.8 Mountain Lion, quickly grew to 1.34 percent. OS X 10.7 Lion, remained steady at 2.29 percent, as Snow Leopard at 2.23 percent and Leopard at 0.65 percent.
Altogether, the share clocked in at 6.51 percent just beating out Vista, which has mostly been left for dead by Microsoft. The figure did not include the iPad or iPhone usage, which combine for 5.8 percent.
Windows 7 beat out its ancient cousin, Windows XP, for the first time ever, taking 38.54 percent. XP came in at 38.46 percent.
Windows 8, which has been released in a few betas, and also leaked in its retail version to P2P sites, came in at 0.21 percent. That number is expected to jump to 10 percent, at least, by the end of the year.
