Linux use shows over 10% a year growth amongst people learning about websites on those figures. Still disappointing, but it won't change radically till it comes pre-installed. There is more to these figures than meets the eye, as Microsoft have lost over 6% of desktop share over the period covered, but Linux and MacOS have only gained just under 4%. Either there is a proliferation of "other", or some browsers are not reporting enough to be recognised, both possibilities fill me with hope. Afraid my browser stats (I have access to log results for quite a lot of websites) show Firefox still around 10%, not much has changed in a couple of years in terms of browser market share. Sure we now have more versions of IE to deal with.... As discussed before, the proportion of different browsers (and operating systems) varies hugely between different sites. With firefox plugins like the web developer plugin, and firebug, it is hardly surprising there is a steady migration of visitors to a site teaching web design to the browser providing those features. Linear extrapolation from those figures says Microsoft will be gone in 2065, but linear extrapolation is hardly a useful guide here. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
