Interesting, have you seen the results?

As of 16:20 on 28/10/07:
Yes - I need new spots        22.54% 
No - I'm happy with Tiger     6.34% 
No - Linux is my OS of choice   13.39% 
No - I'm a Windows user          57.72% 
49887 Votes Cast


I'm not surprised to see Windows top and I'm sure it's a biased poll, but a
Linux figure of over 13% must send a shiver down the spine of a certain
beknighted monopolist...
