Sorry, but I'm more curious at the Windows 2000 with 1%, which is more than win 7 and 8?! XP isn't even listed, so I am pretty confused by that stat.
- I wonder if it's got something to do with some sort of old, out-of-date software that only runs on 2000.
  
  Some lab and manufacturing equipment are still stuck on incredibly old versions of Windows. However, the thought of those machines still touching the Internet to the point where it can be counted by these statistics is honestly terrifying.
- Fun fact: I have visited a US state prison whose systems were running windows vista and 98
The US goverment also uses a lot of IPv6 since there was a mandated transition that came from.the department of defense.
Ashburn at 4.8% tells me this includes data center traffic, as not many people live there but a shit ton of data centers do.
Most servers use Linux so it should be at least at 30%. That stats are very weird or I'm really not understanding how they work.
- It seems to specifically be looking at users who have gone on US government websites. Its not measuring all devices in the country.
Those Firefox figures are abysmal. Argh.
Even if it were 26% it would be somewhat irrelevant. Ordinary people do not use desktop computers any more. To repeat (because in this community there's a lot of stubborn resistance to this fact): ordinary people do not use desktop computers any more.
To be clear, I do, and you do. But we are a small and shrinking minority.
- They do use PCs. Just not 100% of the time, but its 70% phone or tablet and 30% Laptop/Tower.
  
  You are confusing middle-class Americans with everyone else in the world.
- I'm not sure why this is getting down voted. The stats are pretty clear and come from multiple sources. Android is dominating everything.
