According to a report from Net Applications on market share in November, the first full month the new Leopard OS was on the market, Macs and Democrats have a few things in common, namely a preference for living in California, New York, Vermont, Oregon...

Of the 11 states where the Mac OS makes up more than 10 percent of the market, 9 went to the Democrats in the 2004 election. Only Colorado, where Mac has a 10.09 percent market share and Alaska, where Mac represents 11.87 percent of the market went to the Republicans that year.

The state with the highest Mac market share is Hawaii where Mac rakes in 15.89 percent of the market followed by California with 12.83, Oregon with 12.72 and New York with 12.33.

Those with less than five percent market share: South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and West Virginia, where the Mac OS runs on only 3.47 percent of the machines in the state. All went red in 2004.

Does this mean anything for the Mac?

Probably not. Red states Utah and Virginia come in with more than 9 percent market share and plenty of liberal and conservative bastions were smack dab in the 7 percent range.

With the Mac OS coming in with 3.22 percent of the overall U.S. operating system market, so far behind Windows XP's 78.37 percent share and lagging behind even the maligned Vista with 9.19 percent, the numbers probably aren't all that significant. Just interesting.
