Those wild spikes don't give me a lot of confidence in the data
That explains the popularity of "unknown OS" but not why it swings so wildly
Uhm what's re they using for this report... I would have assumed they would have gone with just taking the User Agent and similar which I guess that wouldn't matter on the modifications you say.
Yeah sure but you usually fake a real existing one so it would go into one of the categories not the Unknown.
This makes alot of sense I'll imagine the folk using Linux aren't using it out of choice but out of necessity due to linux being kinder to older hardware
The biggest spikes look like the correspond to new year. So my guess is that the spikes are vacations and show the difference between home PC and office PC usage.
You can see the same spikes on e.g. Googles IPv6 chart - when people are away from work IPv6 penetration goes up, when people are at work it goes down.
Damn, that's a lot, and within a year too!
Also, at least half of that 'unknown' is probably Linux too.
Old data, man.
It's even better now.
