Not so surprising really :) After all, if this was a Mac site, the latest
OS-X would win hands down, and on an Ubuntu site the latest Ubuntu would
probably win too. 

What I find interesting is that Ubuntu has a category of its own, and that
even though you need to log on ( thus being most likely an MS fan or at
least a non-geek), it still scores over 4% . If you add the "other Linux"
category, you get around 5.5% , and there is a 2% vote for Unix as well :)
Poor old BSD gets a zero though... ( Obligatory Slashdot reference "
NineMSN confirms - BSD is dying!" )
