From http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#technology-desktop-operating-system 22.5% Windows 7 20.8% Windows 10 8.4% Windows 8 0.4% Windows XP 0.1% Windows Vista and 26.2% OS X, FWIW. (Fedora, at 1.4%, beats XP and Vista *combined*. Whoo!) This backs up what you're saying with numbers, and specifically from our target userbase for Workstation. To my deep sadness, they did not ask this question on the 2017 survey (which is open now). -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
