The most popular operating systems based on browser signature strings in page requests during the period from October 13, 2005 to September 2, 2006.

The table below contains the request percentages from operating systems during the period from October 13, 2005 to September 2, 2006. Of course, Windows is the most popular operating system. I am surprised to see that Linux is under 2%. I thought there are a lots of Linux systems out there.
