Net Applications is a web analytics firm. The company is commonly known in the web browser development and technology news communities for its global market share statistics.[citation needed]

History

Since 1999, Net Applications is a source of applications for webmasters and eMarketers. Headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, Net Applications distributes its services through over 7,000 partners and affiliates.[citation needed]

Criticism

While the statistics released by the company routinely place operating systems sold by Microsoft (Windows) and Apple (Mac OS X) with a high market share in the desktop computer category (through 2013), Vincent Vizzaccaro (EVP – Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Net Applications, 2002–present) has stated that Microsoft and Apple are among the company's clients.[1] The company has also admitted that their statistics are skewed.[2]
