Apple ( AAPL ) saw its share of personal-computer operating systems in use on the Internet rise to a new high in April, Net Applications reported Sunday. Apple’s Mac operating systems collectively accounted for 9.2% of PCs online last month, up from 7.8% in March. Net Applications cautioned that the April data is preliminary. Still, Apple’s percentage of PCs in use on the Internet has been on the rise for several years. Its previous high was 8% in October. About year ago, in April 2015, Mac OS claimed 7.4% usage share. Net Applications data go back to November 2007, when Windows had 95.9% market share and Mac claimed just 3.4%. Conversely, Microsoft ( MSFT ) has seen its stranglehold on the PC market loosen. Its usage share of the PC market fell below 90% for the first time last month. Windows accounted for 89.2% of PCs on the Internet in April, down from 90.5% in March, Net Applications said. The top version of the Mac OS in use is Mac OS X 10.11, called El Capitan. It garnered 4% of the PC market in April, Net Applications said. Scalper1 News
