My website keeps stats for what OS is being used when the user goes to
the website. I get about 600 unique visitors per day. For the month of
november, I had 36.5% of my users using windows xp, 29.8% using
windows 98, 14.8% using windows me, 12% using windows 2000, 2.1% mac,
1.6% unknown, 1.2% windows 95, 1.2% windows nt, 0.3% linux, and less
than 0.1% each using web tv, solaris, windows 3.1, freebsd, hp unix,
and dreamcast, in that order.

Hi,

You probably know this, but officially Windows has 95% market share in
home operating systems. In the server market they don't have a share
that big.
