The Apple Mac OS X continued to gain momentum in the operating system market according to Web measurement firm Net Applications.

Mac OS X increased about a quarter percentage point in January, when it comprised 7.6 percent of all the systems that surfed sites tracked by Net Applications. Apple’s share of the operating system market in January rose 0.27 percentage points from December 2007, up about 1.35 percentage points in the last 12 months and a one year increase of 22 percent.

Gartner predicts that Apple will double its U.S. and Western Europe market share by 2011. “Apple’s gains reflect as much on the failures of the rest of the industry as on Apple’s success,” Gartner analysts said.

“Apple is challenging its competitors with software integration that provides ease of use and flexibility; continuous and more frequent innovation in hardware and software; and an ecosystem that focuses on interoperability across multiple devices.”

Net Application’s data for January showed that Microsoft Window’s still has a majority of the market share at 91.5 percent, a decrease from 93.3 percent a year ago.
