I have always been amazed at how fast a new Mac OS X update is adopted by the community, so I have been checking the statistics for visitors to this site (all statistics quoted here are for the month of September). Among Mac users, Snow Leopard has passed Leopard (it happened over a week ago, but hasn’t changed much since then):

10.6 Snow Leopard  47.0%
10.5 Leopard       44.2%
10.4 Tiger          7.3%
Other               1.5%

While looking through the stats, I thought it would be interesting to share some other information about our rather unique demographic.

Browser popularity is upside down with Firefox the most popular and Internet Explorer in 3rd place:

Firefox            50.9%
Safari             24.9%
Internet Explorer  17.2%
Chrome              1.0%
Other               6.0%

Mac users are closing in on Windows users, with a strong showing from Linux users (but basically nothing else, most of the “Other” was “not set” and a small part being iPhone):

Windows            44.4%
Mac                40.3%
Linux              14.2%
Other               1.1%

Geographic location shows a long tail distribution (with 62 countries appearing):

United States      48.8%
Germany             6.9%
United Kingdom      6.5%
China               5.5%
Canada              3.9%
Australia           3.7%
France              2.6%
Italy               2.5%
Brazil              2.4%
Netherlands         2.0%
Japan               1.8%
Spain               1.6%
Other              11.8%

I need to remember that over 50% of readers are not from the US.
