I’ve been looking at my site stats and it seems odd that a site primarily focused on Linux would have almost twice as many page views from IE as from Firefox (22% to 12%). Platform wise, XP and Linux are neck and neck at 3200 but when you include all the Windows derivatives (a special hello to the three page views from Windows 3.1 – man you believe in getting your money’s worth) its 6350:3200.
So, I was wondering – is this browser identification strings being set to identify as IE? Well probably not because there would be a more proportionate OS identification. Are there twice as many Windows users looking to change to Linux as there are those who’ve done it? Is everyone just surfing my site at work?
I don’t know but I do know this, 6350 Windows visitors and 264 Vista visitors. They’re either very happy or very lonely.

Surfing at work here. No choice given to me but to use Windows
He he, I thought that might be a common scenario – I like the idea of a bunch of secret Linux users subverting the system from the inside.
