Well I certainly hope everyone out there has had an excellent Xmas & is now looking forward to the New Years Eve celebrations & new year as a whole. I certainly am.

Today I was looking at the Statistics for my blog, as I do from time to time, when something caught my attention, The Hits by Operating System stats presented what I thought would make for an interesting bit of trend analysis.

The blogs been running for just under a year now, 11 months & some days so the information presented was gathered over the same period. This means it should give us a rough indication on the technologies out there being used by everyone & whats presently taking off / hanging back in the market...

Anyway, enough with the ramblings, why not have a look for yourself, the following Pie shows the Hits by O/S in a percentage form:



Now, as you can see, the largest chunk of hits come from Vista based machines (Microsoft will love this), which to me is pretty interesting since in this region we mostly see clients being very hesitant to adopt vista in general.

There is even a hit from a Windows 98 based station out there somewhere, nice to know some people got some die hard machines still running on that - imagine support for it is becoming a bit of a problem as we go along ( I couldnt imaging having to go back to working on 98, although once I considered myself a 98 Wizzard) haha how times change when we have the technology available to us & opportunity to grow right?
