It seems that mobile operating systems are surpassing traditional desktop applications in Internet usage market share. This can be good for users and companies alike.
Paul Rubens writes, "Android surpassed Microsoft's Windows® in March to become the most popular operating system on the Internet, according to figures compiled by GlobalStats, the research arm of Web analytics company StatCounter.
"Cullen may be overstating the significance of the findings somewhat because, allowing for a margin of error, Windows could still be top dog on the Internet. But really that is beside the point, which is that mobile operating systems have come from nowhere in 5 years, and desktop computing in general is in relative decline.
