That press release is very bad at telling where it gets its data from, and the website they refer to (www.hitboxenterprise.com) does not comply with HTML standards etc.

Therefore, I made an investigation of a small amateur website about danish traditions (http://traditioner.dk/), and since september, 21st, the hits were distributed like this (search engines etc. not counted):

1753 are from the webmaster herself and me
30172 Windows 98
7712 Windows 95
5261 Windows Me
2861 Windows NT 4.0
1604 Windows 2000
1601 Macintosh
136 Linux
55 Sun Solaris
46 Windows XP

This gives Linux a share of 0,2-0,3%, and Macintosh and Windows 2000 a market share of 3,1%. XP market share is not fair to measure, since it has just arrived on the market. Windows 95 has a share of 15% (!).

The typical user of this website is believed to be schools and home users.

My current judgement is that the Linux share will be 1-3% at the end of year 2002 and 3-10% at the end of 2003, passing Windows 2000 and maybe Windows 95. Windows 98 will probably stay the most used OS for some years to come.

I chose that site because I could easily remove all the website operator's hits and because the group of people using it is very varied.
