An EE Times straw poll of embedded device makers in Europe found that while last year 50% said they planned to use Linux, that number had dropped to 33%. 26% said they planned to use a commercial OS, up from 15% a year ago.

Now, did I understood it right from the website but is this really nothing more than a website "'straw poll' with a self-selecting audience"?
The next poll asks readers to consider how long will it take after the 'meltdown' banking crisis for the global economy to recover from any resulting recession? Readers can vote in the left-hand column of the EE Times Europe home page.

A poll on OSnews would be as informative and scientific then?

15% of 1000000 is a lot more than 15% of 10
Without that the numbers mean nothing
