All WebPages use HTML or Hypertext Markup Language which is the universal format that every web page is written.

Web Browsers read this code and convert it to a more user friendly format.

The main web browsers are:

internet explorer with a market share of approximately 71%

Firefox with a market share of approximately 21%

Safari with a market share of approximately 3%

Google chrome with a market share of 1%

There are other web browsers such as Opera.

The main search engine used is Google with allot of other search engines basing their own results off goggles own however I find Bing allot better.

As for personal computer operating systems, windows has a market share of approximately 88%, Mac approximately 9% and Linux approximately 4%

Windows has 7 released operating systems however the majority of the world uses the latest three:

XP with a market share of approximately 25%

Vista with a market share of approximately 8%

7 with a market share of approximately 39%

Windows 7 is the latest release of the windows OS however windows 8 and Metro are expected to be released this year October 26 2012
