If all that's true, it won't be true often enough to matter significantly. I also think Windows gets a larger number than the proportion of people using it because people who it Google a lot are probably writers, researchers and such. I use Google most days, but I suspect that those people using Linux on their desktops are more likely IT people. Allowing for all that, we're still miniscule. We may be ahead of Apple numerically, but probably not much. In case you haven't noticed, we're also mostly male. -- Cheers John. Please, no off-list mail. You will fall foul of my spam treatment.
