The results are obvious. Linux users tend to do programming and major server work. Windows users tend to type numbers into excel spreadsheets and play solitaire. The linux users are just too busy with real work to spend all day browsing websites!
Linux users busy with compiling Linux kernel; they try every possible options only to gain 0.01% performance up. They also busy to try tens of mp3/video players to find which one is the best emulating WMP. They also busy to send complaint emails to every hardware vendor who didn't open source their drivers. Also most of them only play KMahjong ang Tux-race all day.

Speak for yourself. After am done installing my new distribution for the week, getting all of my plugins and codices working, and reading these blogs I don't actually spend that much time working. Fortunately, when I do work I don't worry about viruses or popups and I get right to it. These days I running OSX on my macbook and I'm a bit grumpy about not having as much fun as I used to have. Hopefully Redhat will get their stuff together and make something that I can use.
