Linux can make a good server, but as a consumer desktop, well, the numbers speak for themselves. I'm not going to make crazy argument that the numbers are lies. Since they didn't come from hussein, they're probably in the ballpark. But as one metric (and I'm not implying this is widespread), I am likely counted among those using some form of Windows in spite of never having it on my desktop. I have to set the User Agent in my web browser to "Windows/IE 11" due to the number of sites that (IMHO) gratuitously reject or provide a subpar user experience if the platform discerned is anything other than Mac or Windows in general or IE in particular. I set that globally for all sites so the nginx access logs for Free Republic are showing my connection (wrongly) as coming from a Windows system.

For those of us who mainly get on the internet to read Freerepublic and e-mail, all I can say is; "Huh? What are you talking about?
