Hello geeks (you know who you are).
Here’s a platform statshot from my blogs:
| Marginalia | Aquaculture | |||
| Windows XP | 346 | Windows 98 | 523 | |
| Windows | 188 | Windows XP | 422 | |
| Windows 2000 | 138 | Windows | 272 | |
| Mac | 71 | Windows 2000 | 203 | |
| Windows 98 | 14 | Mac PowerPC | 26 | |
| Linux | 7 | Mac | 16 | |
| Mac s-HttpC | 7 | Linux | 12 | |
| Windows NT | 4 | Mac XML-RPC | 9 | |
| Mac XML-RPC | 3 | Windows NT | 3 | |
I’m not sure if ‘Windows’ means win3.1.1 (surely not), but what I think is most interesting is the huge number of Win98 in the aquaculture blog. My first guess was this is an indication of users from smaller economies not being able to afford the upgrade to XP. I don’t think that’s the case, because a huge percentage of the volume comes from the USA. Maybe XP isn’t as easily pirated backedup. Maybe the users are using older machines.
Who knows. I’ve always been interested in the server stats. I’ll be interested to see over a longer time period whether the OS wars will balance out, but I was surprised about the suggested socios. Maybe ‘windows’ means from a windows server.
At least, here in marginalia.ako, the most searched term (contrary to what it was in edublogs) is not ‘soft boiled eggs’. Don’t ask.
