Why? What's the purpose? I can understand that they want to know what hardware is linux people using, but "counting"? I can tell you how many Linux users are there: Not enought of them.

How could you say that counting users is not useful and two rows later say that there aren't enough user?

To state that there aren't enough users you have to count it before.

So, your post is inconsistent.

It may not be important to you, but the number of people using a product allows companies to market to linux users, who won't port their products blindly. I don't know about you, but i would love Blizzard, for example, to do a population survey of linux users. I want my Diablo 3! Sun, 09 Nov 2008 22:40:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (giraffe) Comments
