Programas
Algúns son gratuítos, pero non libres (freeware) e outros son software libre (tamén coñecido como free software). Unha licencia moi extendida no mundo do software libre é a GNU GPL. O concepto cross-platform (multiplataforma) referido a un programa significa que está deseñado para funcionar en varios sistemas operativos, por exemplo Windows, Mac e Linux.

Browsers market share statistics
These are the browsers market share statistics according to the country weighting methodology adopted by Net Applications in August, 2009. Some months will show strange tendencies, due to new country statistics. For example, in February, 2011, IE gained share and Firefox had a strange loss, which Net Applications explained this way:
With the new C.I.A. numbers factored in, Firefox loses global share since many of the countries it is most popular in (Western European, in particular) now have a lower percentage of global internet users. Internet Explorer gains as browser usage shifts to countries with higher percentages of Internet Explorer users.
P. S. (1 – IX – 2011). I have corrected some numbers to match those on the Net Applications page (what they let you see, i. e. from last October on). These guys seem to have “refined” their methodology again, and percentages got retroactively changed. I suppose obscuring numbers improves their business… :-/
P. S. (23 – VI – 2012). If you look at the numbers by StatCounter Global Stats you will find them very different to these. It may be interesting to read their explanation: “An Open Letter to Roger Capriotti, Microsoft”.
P. S. (14 – IV – 2016). It seems impossible to accurately keep track of these statistics by Net Applications, since they sometimes publish their numbers and then change them retroactively, due to country weighting or any other reason.
