tlug: Interesting statistic

[John De Hoog <washi@example.com>]

This statistic caught my eye today.

"We [=Web Site Journal] took more than 2,000,000 Web pageviews 
>from approximately 5,000 Web sites using Web Site Garage's 
Hitometer and found the following statistics:

Windows 95              63.2%           
Windows 98              16.3%           
Windows NT              8.7%            
Macintosh                 4.6%            
Other                        3.2%            
Other Windows          2.6%            
Solaris/SunOS           0.8%            
Linux                        0.6%

[end quote]

(Assuming the results are meaningful, I wonder if this means Linux users
are really that small a proportion of the online community, or whether
they are hiding their Linux identities, or whether they just don't Web
browse very much. I also expected Mac users to be more plentiful, and am
surprised by the relatively high Win98 figure.)
