Web Browsers and Operating Systems users ratio

[Vyasram]

Firefox is gaining again reaching the 15% mark. I wonder why opera has <2% share.

Reg OS, Mac OS X is above Vista! and linux is way down

[i_am_crack]

[QwertyManiac]

@i_am_crack - What does being a pirated copy or not have anything to do with browser user strings?

 

[i_am_crack]

if read the first topic..it says
3 Mac OS X 3.87%
4 Windows Vista 1.94%

He meant vista is below Mac...Thatz the cause i asked him to add the pirated copies floating....

 

[prateek_san]

nice.....stats

 

[Kiran.dks]

It's very unfair to take the Vista share right away considering it is just released this year.

1 Windows XP 84.47%
2 Windows 2000 4.28%
3 Mac OS X 3.87%

Those stats are based on the hits websites recieve (Calculated from each visit's user string data), it isnt a sales stat.

He just is happy that more Mac users recorded hits in that collection than Vista did. Its not a count of what has more coverage in real life. So pirated or not has NOTHING to do with whats popular on the net and what not.

Exactly. I LMAO when I read i_am_crack's posts. LOL! His username is fitting indeed.

And I am pretty angry at you for snatching the chance of replying to that post. I would have loved to do that.


@iMav, would you and gx_saurav stop sticking your butts into every thread! Is it a huge, big revelation that most people who use computers today are using Windows XP? Are you telling us something new?
It is just surprising that a company which makes Apple's quarterly profits in two weeks hasn't managed to put more copies of Vista out there in four months than Mac OS X, even including the pirated ones. There are no conclusions to be drawn here and certainly nothing to fight about (which you seem intent on doing). Everyone knows Vista is eventually going to have a far higher share than Mac OS X. It is just having a slow adoption rate due to the fact that it is not a whole lot better than XP. Keep shut when you are not asked to speak. Or at least, if you do, speak something sensible. Everything I post on this forum is not targeted at you.

Oh, and I have to say that the rate of adoption of Linux distros is pitifully slow. All of them combined could not give a challenge to even Mac OS X or Vista? WOW! I'd thought that the joint share of all Linux distros must be something quite close to Mac OS X's.

And how the hell is IE7 ahead of Firefox?! WOW! Is the world really full of idiots!

 

[Choto Cheeta]

anyway, So many FF downloads still IE is there on top , posibili due to the coder as many sites are still coded and Application are still developed keeping in mind only IE

 

[QwertyManiac]

aryayush - Before you get happy reading this thread, its just 4,366 websites. Linux users have better jobs than to visit Apple or Microsoft and their kind of sites ..

That's because the various OSS foundations don't have the billions for their propaganda.

Besides, a vast majority of servers run on Linux.
