Thanks for the information. These numbers seem more plausible given my own anecdotal evidence. Now compare this to the poll percentages:
21.37% Windows (199)
40.28% Mac (375)
35.12% Linux (327)
My conclusion is that a Linux user is far more motivated than a Mac or Windows user to respond to this poll, making the results interesting, but not accurate.
- nanijoe 17y agoIt's also possible that a lot of the Windows users are not registered here and are therefore not able to vote in the survey
- Xichekolas 17y agoIt's also possible that linux/OSX users are less likely to be interested in a Microsoft product (bing) or an article about one.
- minus1 17y agoIt's certainly possible, but I don't think it can account for the full difference. Hopefully PG will provide some recent server stats.
