^^^^^^^^^^I'm still waiting for an explanation of why web server log files show over 10 time more usage on Macs than Linux.^^^^^^^^^

It's far more likely that linux machines are not connecting to said servers as opposed to a percentage margin that simply cannot exist when compared to apple's own numbers.

If apple hadn't announced having 25 million users, you'd have an argument.

Let's have a look at the web server stats at thecounter.com for October.

Based on 79,871,057 web site visits during October, Windows XP users accounted for 59,767,399 visits (74%), Mac accounted for 2,495,102 visits (3%) and Linux had 334,440 visits (about 0%).

Either Linux users don't exist in the numbers you claim - or they don't use the Internet.

Now let's look at the Doctor HTML web browser statistics for last week -

Mac - 3.83%
Linux - 0.28%

A very consistent pattern is shown in all of these aggregated statistics - A lot more Mac users than Linux users on the Internet.
