Mac OS X Mountain Lion Sees Quick Adoption

Apple users flock to the new OS.

Maybe it's the glowing reviews. Maybe it's the fusion of mobile and desktop, and the intense focus on sharing. Or maybe it's the $20 price tag. Whatever the reason, Apple's newest operating system, Mac OS X 10.8, Mountain Lion, is the people's favorite. The numbers don't lie.

Chitika, an online ad provider, released a report showing that Mountain Lion made up 3.2% of the entire Mac OS X market just 48 hours after release. By comparison, Chitika says it took Apple's last OS, Mac OS X Lion three months to garner at 14% market share. If you take a look at its chart (image 2), you'll see that Mac OS X 10.6 is the most popular Apple OS, with over 45% market share. At this rate, Mountain Lion will be at 15% by next week.
