It's important to also consider that while Windows may represent ~80% of the desktop market, it may not represent that much of a majority for the Medium market.

It's important to also consider that while Windows may represent ~80% of the desktop market, it may not represent that much of a majority for the Medium market. I'd be surprised, honestly, if 80% of Medium readers used Windows...
- Dylan16807 11y agoHang on, "well over 80" and "about 80" are not the same thing. Why would you be surprised by 80% of Medium readers using Windows? Even 20% non-Windows would represent a massive anti-Windows bias.

- Dylan16807 11y agoI expect everyone on the site to own a real computer too. I interpret the question as "people that use X as their desktop OS" because of the context.

- hbosch 11y agoTo note: I wrote "~80%" because I was too lazy to look up current statistics and accepted the parent comment at face value, while also allowing a slushy figure. The general presupposition of my comment remains the same regardless: it's unwise to assume that the desktop computer market reflects a website's visitor segmentation.
