Linux gaining on Apple - Current Visitors By Operating System
I happened to be researching which platforms visit my web properties. I found some unexpected trends and thought some of you might be interested.
First, the obvious. Windows (the much maligned operating system) is firmly in 1st place with 85% of traffic.
In second place, Apple, with 7.4%. Then Linux in third, with 6.44%
Linux trails Apple by less than 1%?!?!
By mindshare and mouthshare, I would have thought Apple would command a much larger lead. Especially since I write almost exclusively on technology topics.
What trends are you seeing on YOUR web properties?

Jose,
According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh ) a Macintosh is a series of several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc.
It's also how google analytics (which is where the table in the image above came from ) reports on the entire Apple computer operating system line.

I just looked at the GA stats for my blog for the last month. The gap in my numbers is much more pronounced:
Windows: 55.16%
Macintosh: 38.12%
Linux: 5.38%
iPad: 0.67%
Android: 0.45%
iPhone: 0.22%
I posted some of my stats on my blog. http://bit.ly/cv9e7H
Windows: 76.12%
Mac: 12.20%
Linux: 7.06%
Android: 2.70%
iPhone: 1.16%
Blackberry: 0.39%
(not set): 0.26%
Playstation 3: 0.13% <--- o_O
Linux +1!
It's because your site is for tech people. If it was flirt site you might not even see 'em.
