Bill Gates should be worried now, as for over a decade Microsoft’s flagship product Windows has been enjoying more than 90% of OS market share. But not anymore, as new stats reveal that Apples MAC OS has taken up some part of pie away from Microsoft.

The major reason was that of lack of interest users showed to purchase Windows Vista, as many had been wanting XP to be installed in their systems, but as Microsoft would be retiring XP’s support in 2009, they didn’t even bother to make purchases at all.

Also with that Linux being installed in major netbooks today, is another threat to Microsoft’s OS share.

And the denting doesn’t end here for Microsoft. It has been losing considerably in the browser market to Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.

Reaching 20 percent worldwide market share is a significant milestone for Firefox and Mozilla, Mozilla CEO John Lilly. It’s a huge achievement by the global Mozilla community, one that just a few years ago most would have considered impossible.

It’s high time that Microsoft needs to think over it’s strategy to regain its unchallengeable position.
