I find it strange that the percentages seem to change so little after 
another 3000 votes.. I wouldn't have thought that there was such a clear 
relationship between the first 2000 voters on the site, and the next 
3000.  Expecially as the Windows & Mac users were given a head start.
The linux figure popped up at ~11% when I first noticed it was added - 
and no figures have changed by more than 1% since (according to my very 
casual observation).
Are the BBC fixing the figures to justify the iPlayer?
