Not scientific, but I don't think I've ever been to a "tech" event and seen more than 25% Windows machines (granted, I'm not a .NET developer). Windows has 90% of the market, but what percentage of the developer (especially web developer) market does it have? And within that market, what percentage of the Windows users are working on what amount of legacy apps or apps that can't use new browser features because they must support older versions of IE ( like "enterprise" stuff)? Those are the important numbers.
- pjmlp 12y agoTry a games developer event instead, even some Macs will be running Windows.
- glesica 12y agoBut there again, games developers aren't going to care about an cool new IE feature either unless they're building games that run exclusively or primarily on IE, which I suspect is a very small market. It's not that "nobody runs Windows", it's that "relatively few people who would find snazzy new IE features useful" run Windows.
