The one Olav linked to said only "GNOME" rather than "GNOME 3" or "GNOME
Shell" and as such people who are still sticking with GNOME 2 will have
voted for GNOME too. Several distributions are still shipping GNOME 2 (and
users don't always use the latest version of their distribution either), so
they might not even KNOW about GNOME 3 yet, or at least not have tried it
yet. Plus, the poll is outdated by at least 2½ months (published Dec 1),
which also contributes to people still rating GNOME based on the old GNOME
2. (Again, most distributions are much slower in adopting GNOME 3 than
Fedora.) Even the article itself admits that "Due to the timing of the GNOME
3 release, it's hard to tell if the victory is because of version 3 or in
spite of it." The LQ poll proves it was the latter.
