Mac OS 9 usage dwarfs OS X in creative fields
September 22, 2003 - 16:04 EDT Following our reported earlier today on Apple's market share numbers in the creative industry, Vincent Naselli, a director at research firm TrendWatch, provided MacMinute with a further break down of the numbers. According to the firm, 71 percent of professional graphic designers use Mac OS 9 as their principal Mac operating system, while 17 percent have OS X. For corporate designers, 60 percent use OS 9 and 13 percent use OS X. For professional ad agencies, 72 percent have OS 9 and 20 percent run OS X. The figures provided were the latest data available through June 2003.*Since then, Quark has released an OS X version of QuarkXPress, which should have increased the operating system's usage in the industries.

My Comments: Those poor people out there still using OS 9.. Have you noticed a trend.. it's not just PC users we feel sorry for now.. it's also OS 9 users that us OS X users feel sorry for
