A trusted analysis. I agree it has it faults as only those sites which add their code to their site were included, so it would leave out all the major and big sites, but still, it is the generalised trend.

I hope the Mac vs Windows fight does not start over here.

Opera

No of chinese web pages on the internet is greater than english ones, but still that counter shows only 2.4% visits from china! This is probably a counter for english/western based websites only .

This would obviously affect all other counters as well

Linux = 1.34% :rofl......where are the lingeeks saying "Windows is loosing ground"

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

My observations:

*Firefox is gaining in leaps and bounds in popularity.8)
*Windows XP still rules. Who will buy the expensive Vista?

Differnt websites shows differnt statistics. Its difficult to find out the exact usage worldwide.

 

[praka123]

Linux share may be much more(>5%?).but it is difficult to calculate may be coz of different distros.and not to forget the server counts!

 

[Nav11aug]

Linux only 1.xx % ???
imposs

 

[RCuber]

I think there are more websites running on linux/PHP than Win/ASP.NET hosting..

 

[gxsaurav]

but it is difficult to calculate may be coz of different distros.

Doesn't all Linux distro's come under the same catagory "Linux". Means 1.34% included all sort of Linux.

Linux only 1.xx % ???

Lolz....surprised to see the truth

well its visitors stats rather than the servers its running so even thinkdigit runs on linux, the visitors may use Windows its counting that rather than the OS....

hey saurav ,why r u browsing the forum always in hidden mode.plz remove the hidden mode from ur profile so that we all can se when u r online.


i don't agree with the linux stats. i think many users who use windows also hav linux installed in their pc and also use it.

I don't do that.

Not to burst the bubble, but I know & so does everyone here that truth hurts.

Not correct, thats your own personal subjective thinking which holds no truth outside your mindset

 

[piyush gupta]

i thinks this is correct one

still IE is topper coz its free with windows and mostly laymen never chage their browsers

and yes linux is very less as compared to windows

e.g in IT companies only in india how many u will find linux development.

we have only windows here with IE(even i dont like working on IE) i m using it only

 

[gxsaurav]

IE is topper coz its free with windows

This is irrelevent, don't u think.? Firefox comes with almost all Linux distributions. Safari comes with Mac OS X. Why don't u say about those then.

Mostly laymen never chage their browsers

This is a genuine reason, IE Works fine for most of the people.

nope... it doesnt .IE6 sucks bigtime.. IE7 is worth the upgrade ..

Firefox>IE7>>>>>>>>>>>IE6

How many uses Linux and Mac OS X

 

[gxsaurav]

How many uses Linux and Mac OS X

And thats the point. On what basis Linux & Mac users say that there OS is gaining ground while Windows is going down, when surveys like this reveal the truth that only a minority of people use Linux or Mac.

Mods...sorry but I just can't stop laughing at the Linux & Mac users here who claim "Vista/XP/IE is loosing ground"
