http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp - jads, on 05/03/2009, -1/+194I think we can all agree on the real news story here - People are still using Windows ME??
- thecheatah, on 05/03/2009, -2/+152Damn that was quick!
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/03/2009, -8/+141IT'S OVER 9000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- phybere, on 05/03/2009, -1/+133Yeah, the market's growing quickly. We should be dominating by the end of the day.
- yaosio, on 05/03/2009, -3/+132Mac:Hey Linux what are you doing there?
Linux: Oh, I'm just trying to find a game to play.
Mac: Me too. :( - Jeffler, on 05/03/2009, -2/+99WTF MY VISTA BOX JUST RANDOMLY TURNED INTO UBUNTU HELP
- k3nt0456, on 05/03/2009, -5/+93IE6 needs to DIE
- sirjoebob, on 05/03/2009, -1/+66I can't believe someone has managed to keep a ME computer running this long. A friend of mine always said ME ran on TRINARY:
on, off, error - rnawky, on 05/03/2009, -5/+64Accurate statistics are accurate...
You're getting statistics from websites that are geared more towards a slightly more technical group of people.
Have a website like Google or Yahoo deliver their statistics. - mason092, on 05/03/2009, -3/+58It doubled over night?
- greenlight2001, on 05/03/2009, -2/+55And in 2 years, will have 213% market share!
- whitesaint, on 05/03/2009, -3/+55I know right! It's just like, what the *****? These statistics look to be way off. I recently read that Safari had hit 10% market share for web browsers, yet it says here that it's less than 2 percent. This can't be possible.
- Carinix, on 05/03/2009, -3/+541024x768 is still widely used..? Wait what.
- infectaphibian, on 05/03/2009, -7/+56A free OS with free applications and a strong user community is not a bad choice in "these troubled times."
- dhughes, on 05/03/2009, -0/+47 A 100% increase in one day!!
- Jeffler, on 05/03/2009, -1/+48Actually, its 99.5 - Madagascar shut down its ports
- LugaZap, on 05/03/2009, -5/+51Just waiting to start seeing Apple commercials. Hi Im a Mac, and Im a Linux.............
- AboveandBeyond, on 05/03/2009, -9/+45it's now 8%
it's now 14%
it's now 38%
it's now 86%
it's now 98%
it's now 100%
game over. - techdever, on 05/03/2009, -3/+37at this rate in about a year it will have a 300% market share
- AboveandBeyond, on 05/03/2009, -9/+41in linux world, you can make up any statement and it becomes a fact, as long as it's biased towards linux.
- LucasHenderson, on 05/03/2009, -0/+32I dugg this just for the laugh it gave me after seeing 1% a few days ago.
- rolf, on 05/03/2009, -0/+31I'm pretty sure it was just unary: error.
- 3242130193, on 05/03/2009, -0/+31And yet. It shows 3% back in July 2004. So the growth pretty similar.
Statistics are so easy to manipulate - Sakumi, on 05/03/2009, -2/+331920x1080 here.
I laugh in the face of your extra 120 lines of pixels! - rnawky, on 05/03/2009, -1/+311920x1200 here.
- nixfu, on 05/03/2009, -4/+33
2% DESKTOP.......
50% SERVERS. - MikeDugg, on 05/03/2009, -15/+43why do you people cream your pants over this *****?
- alexdemers, on 05/03/2009, -0/+27Ya, 76% of statistics are completely made up.
- stolemybike, on 05/03/2009, -2/+28Yeah but the article that said 1% was from last week. At this pace, Linux will have 100% marketshare by next year!
- t0x2c, on 05/03/2009, -0/+24Don't panic!
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/03/2009, -2/+26That's called market competition my friend.
- f3n1x, on 05/03/2009, -0/+24why would you do that? to ***** up the readability?
they share the same kernel, therefore they are the same class of system. seperating linux distros would be like seperating XP home from XP professional. - supermanly, on 05/03/2009, -0/+21I'm curious how much it has to do with netbooks like EeePC/MSI Wind etc.
- KAMiKAZOW, on 05/03/2009, -0/+21Wait 'til Hurd is ready!
- s3Shane, on 05/03/2009, -0/+20Go on....
- whitesaint, on 05/03/2009, -3/+23Agreed. These statistics shouldn't be taken as to represent actual market share. A lot of websites attract certain audiences; like my website only attracts Mac users. If I were to publish my statistics, 90% of the market would own a Mac and 60% would use Safari. I call *****.
- harlowsmonkeys, on 05/03/2009, -5/+25w3schools caters to web develops, who are more likely to be working on Linux than the general population.
- deviantsteve, on 05/03/2009, -1/+20Only reason I still dual boot.
- nawill81, on 05/03/2009, -0/+19This is worldwide. Maybe the other was US only?
Edit: well not really worldwide, but it includes data from other contries. - poprocksandsoda, on 05/03/2009, -10/+28Wow, this comes only 10 years after people predicted that Linux would become a viable solution at the desktop.

Just think, at this rate in 20 years they could be at 6%. - mattus, on 05/03/2009, -1/+18And how much of this is 17- and 19-inch monitors that are set to the wrong resolution? See it all the time in workplaces.
- DarkShroud, on 05/03/2009, -3/+20That's what she said.
- inactive, on 05/03/2009, -4/+21it's over 9000!?
- decx, on 05/03/2009, -2/+18w3counter is a free counterservice
i imagine it has a wide array of websites to pull data from
edit:
from the site "This report was generated 04/30/2009 based on the last 64,263,702 unique visits to all tracked websites at that time. W3Counter's sample currently includes 22,770 websites. The last 25,000 page views to each website are analyzed to identify unique visits. Some visits may occur before the month of the report. " - localzuk, on 05/03/2009, -0/+16Yup. Nearly all the computers at my place of work use 1024x768.
- inactive, on 05/03/2009, -3/+19My OS can beat up your OS. I feel like such a man now.
- bphm42, on 05/03/2009, -2/+181-2% are probably within the margin of error...
