We ran a check on the past 125,000 visitors on what OS they are running regarding all our sites.
The Major OS by far is Windows XP. However the part that we found most interesting is that Linux outpaced both Windows Visa and Mac OS combined in terms of users.
This could be a factor of the nature of the sites. But that is nullified when many of the websites that run this tracking system are general sports sites, political sites that focus on the 2008 election and forums, such as this one.
Code:
81.82% Windows XP
4.82% Linux
4.27% Windows 2000
3.27% PPC
2.64% Mac OS X
1.55% Windows Vista
1.45% Unknown
0.09% Windows CE
0.09% Windows ME
The above stats are from a fairly large sample of 125,000 unique visitors.
Take this for what it's worth. It could be just because of the nature of the sites or it could be because of the actual market share of Linux has increased dramatically over the past several months.
W3 Schools has confirmed our study .
One or another, it appears that Linux is growing in market share. From our guess, it's stealing much of Vista's thunder. However that is just a guess that is based on 125,000 samples.
