I'm surprised by the large Android figures there. For a time OSX became the most widely distributed unix-like consumer system and that was exciting. But despite a strong play, it's being overtaken by android. Looking at these numbers, if I was starting a consulting business at the moment I'd be tempted to focus at android.
