Wonder how they get the Linux figures? People can burn multiple copies and share.

PS: Bazza, hows the weight gain going?

 

Better?

 

Well it looks like XP is gradually on it's way out and Vista will likely be only a not so fond memory in a couple of years. It seems like I know a lot of people who have gone to 7 already, there are even a couple of large companies in the area who have plans in place to convert.

But where is 98 and ME??:-D:wave

 

Got to be a bogus study. I don't see DOS on the list either Brandypeppy. :-D

 

The numbers change from site to site depending on where you go. I do like the quote from the site mentioned above:

 

ACE 256. Slightly better ! :-D

PS: As for the validity of the statistics, I cannot comment. I just listed it as a trend on which way OS's are going. As for 98,ME and DOS, the percentages are likely to be very small, relative to XP for instance. IMO.
