Looking at the various stats I'm struck by the huge penetration of MS
Windows
Warwick:
1. Windows 421,271 89.19%
2. Macintosh 39,654 8.40%
3. Linux 8,761 1.85%
Imperial:
Windows 91.69%
Macintosh 6.90%
Linux 0.87%
Sunderland:
Windows 92.4%
Mac OS 5.7%
Linux 0.7%
Heriot-Watt:
Windows: 93.51%
Mac: 5.05%
Linux 0.67%
Bath Spa:
Windows v:132,952 (80.55%)
Mac v: 29,445 (17.84%)
Linux v: 1,096 ( 0.66%)
Hmm - wonder what the significance of this is and the implications are for
institutions. As MS Windows is a pain to administer and Macs are easy (I
understand) should the levels of support, investment, Web design, levels of
Web testing, etc be >90% for MS Windows, much small for Mac (and
insignificant for Linux).
Slightly tongue-in-cheek Friday posting, so not to be treated too seriously
- but I was surprised by the figures (I guess I tend to see stats for
services aimed at a more techie audience).
