Perhaps the title of this article should read "Windows has a 97% market share of Internet capible systems with web browsers whose users frequent web sites monitored by OneStat.com"
Lets not forget that many browsers / users on other systems report themselves as Windows / IE. Anyway without knowing the biases in one stat's figures its hard to know what to make of these numbers. They are so out of line with other surveys though I'd be tempted not to put much weight on their numbers. Heck I'm sure DOS is somewhere over 3% which would make these numbers on their face not indicate what the headline says.
