Apple’s new OS X Yosemite finished its first full month after release with a brisker uptake than its predecessor Mavericks, metrics company Net Applications said today.

For November, Yosemite accounted for 36.6% of all instances of OS X tallied by Net Applications, which estimates operating system user share by counting visits to the websites operated by its clients.

By comparison, OS X Mavericks, Apple’s 2013 upgrade, ended November of that year — also its first full post-launch month — with a Mac-only user share of 32%.

Yosemite’s pace was the fastest ever for an edition of OS X, beating not only Mavericks but also posting a user share 85% larger than 2012’s Mountain Lion and 114% greater than 2011’s Lion at their one-month marks.
