According to web analyst Net Solutions, Mac OS users account for almost 7.5% percent of the operating systems market as of March 2008. Although the percentage of users is low, especially in comparison to Windows users, Mac operating systems have seen a dramatic jump in growth in 2007. Mac computers are sleek and modern looking, which has started to appeal to many home users.

Two of the common version names of Mac OS X are Leopard and Tiger.
