Linux users are the cause of FireFox's success but Windows users are obviously going to be the majority of users adopting it. Linux makes up less then 10% of world-wide users. You just don't have enough Linux users to drive it. Linux has many good browsers- and not all Linux users only use FireFox. I use Konqueror some times (Mac used this base for Safari, although they mucked it up) and Opera (major improvements in recent versions). If people want Linux- Linspire has a distribution designed for the masses. It's quickly becoming the de-facto standard in ease of use. You can even run windows on Linux through win4lin until your comfortable with it, use it as a crutch. Tons of commercial software is available with one click installs for it and it doesn't require all the tech lingo to use (no terminal windows here, just a web browser-like program called CNR).

Firefox is not a viable option for doing business. Regardless of what you believe when you create a page they should both render the same in both browsers. I can create a page and they will both render differently depending on the browser I use to view it and while I much prefer to surf with Firefox. IE just provides better abilities to create the page to look the way I want or need. Such as inline styles that actually let me set widths on 100% for images and tables and it truely working properly.

Our breakdowns of both Windows and non-Windows are frankly blowing our minds. We’re trying to assemble info from other sites to give you a broader view than that provided by Email Battles visitors alone.

If you have % breakouts for your websites, we’ll be happy to give you some free advertising right here.

Post your Browser Usages by %, and Operating System Usages by % here, with a synopsis and link to your website.

Remember: PERCENTAGES ONLY. Nobody needs to see your competitive secrets.

Or, if you prefer more privacy, send them to “emailbattles” AT “airpost.net.” (Let us know if you want your website to remain anonymous. But we *will* follow-up with a confirming email, to avoid trolls, and provide some assurance that the resulting output has some validity.)

That's a stunning increase, IMHO. Could you break down the makeup of the 26% non-Windows visitors? That’s a stunning increase, IMHO.

The shipping date for Windows Vista has slipped (again!), making people and companies less willing to trust in Microsoft. MSIE7 got some good reviews, but still suffers from the bad name of the old malware trap MSIE6. Firefox is being developed vigorously and will probably hit 3.0 until Vista ships. Moreover, MSIE7 will not support Win2000 or Mac, which will cause even more people to switch. It is likely that Firefox will stay above 10% for all uisers and much higher for pro users.
