Statistics Are Often Misleading

You cannot - as a web developer - rely only on statistics. Statistics can often be misleading.

Global averages may not always be relevant to your web site. Different sites attract different audiences. Some web sites attract professional developers using professional hardware, while other sites attract hobbyists using old low spec computers.

Also be aware that many statistics may have an incomplete or faulty browser detection. It is quite common by many web-stats report programs, not to detect the newest browsers.

(The statistics above are extracted from W3Schools' log-files, but we are also monitoring other sources around the Internet to assure the quality of these figures).

Yes, if you are going to use visitation statistics from a single Web site to determine OS market share, that website should be SourceForge.net.

i don't think so... yes sourceforge have softwares for all-platform but only linux distro's come up with sourceforge prorammes by default. so linux users visits much more than other OS users. openoffice for all platforms but we can get the result by user statistics of openoffice as well.

Best way would be to check the stats on Google and Yahoo then figure out an average between the two.

A goodly portion of Linux activity does not involve using the WWW (apt-get, rsync, wget, FTP, CVS, mailing lists, etc); while users of other OSes are either forced or inculcated to use the Web to accomplish similar tasks. Any statistics focusing on Web activity would be biased against OSes which incorporate the Internet into its basic functionality.
