No. This is talking about Internet traffic by browser platform.

Macs accounted for 8.23 percent of all traffic on Web sites tracked by the firm during the month of September, up from 7.86 percent the month before. Those gains came largely at the expense of rival systems running flavors of the Windows operating system, which saw their combined share slip from 90.66 percent to 90.29 percent

Looks like Mac, iPhone and Linux are all increasing while various flavors of Windows is decreasing, albeit slightly.
