{IC} Stats: Operating Systems

[Lincoln]

I was just reading an interesting (if slightly sensationalist) Inq story about Vista uptake (http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/10/08/vista-uptake-barely-windows) based on viewership stats, so I thought I'd delve into Icrontic's stats.

Over the last month, 94.7% of Icrontic's traffic has been from Windows systems, and about 2.5% each from Mac and Linux. Of the Windows traffic, 82.7% of it is Windows XP, 12% is Vista, and 2.8% is 2000.

What kind of browser activity do we have?

Our numbers match sunbelt's home numbers pretty closely.

Arr. Judgin by tha numbarrrs, there be pirates here! :yarr:

What kind of browser activity do we have?
52.8% IE, 41.4% FF, 3.2% Opera, 1.4% Safari.

IE is 53.5% for v7 and 46.1% for v6.

Of course, 98% of FF traffic is v2 or higher, with 2.0.0.7 logging 51.4% and 2.0.0.6 logging 38.2%.


As an aside, when designing the site, I check it in Firefox, IE6, and IE7 for pixel-by-pixel detail. I periodically check Opera and Safari for major issues.

Thanks for the breakdown. Interesting numbers. Something tells me that a lot of the spyware activity correlates to the IE numbers. ;)

I did a drilldown for people viewing the SVR forum (the actual forum page, not inclusive of threads):

Firefox: 924 visits
IE: 895 visits

Intriguing - perhaps influenced by the helpers. So, I went and found the most popular SVR thread (http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55039)

Firefox: 814 visits
IE: 753 visits

Looks like we have more FF people in the SVR forum; what their motives for being there are, Google Analytics cannot divine. :ninja:

Egad!

That, detective, is the right question.

I'm saddened that the "everyone else" category hasn't edged out Win2k :(.
