Mountain Lion, the latest version of Apple’s OS X desktop operating system, launched just over a month ago and according to the latest data from ad network Chitika, it already runs on over 10% of Macs. Following the obvious spike in installs right after launch — the OS was already running on 3.2% of Macs just 48 hours after its release — Mountain Lion’s share of web traffic to Chitika’s partner network continued to increase steadily, with no sign of letting up even a month later.
As for OS X in general, Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) continues to dominate with just over 43% of all traffic to Chitika’s network, followed by Lion (31.5%) and Leopard (13%). Among TechCrunch readers, by the way, Mountain Lion already accounts for 30% of all traffic and Lion is still the most popular version of OS X among our readers (41%) and just 25% of you still use Snow Leopard.
