OS Statistics

Someone led me to this site, I thought it was quite interesting...

It confirms what many of us suspect: that Linux usage is probably above 1% and has been rising steadily for several years. Mind you, even Steve Ballmer, the lunatic running the asylum, has admitted this.

Great site for stats, but unfortunately I don't think it gives a good representation since mostly techies or people wanting to learn more about web coding visit the W3C site. Your average home user (soccer mom, grandma, office worker, teen, etc) would probably never visit, and this is a very large absent demographic of users.

Unfortunately most sites that measure such status are more tech oriented, and you'll see larger slices of pie going to OSX and Linux. Don't get me wrong I love seeing stats like this, but to be realistic I don't think it's representative across all Internet users.
