I maintain that the most used Windows OS outside of XP is either Windows 7 or Vista.  It doesn't matter at all how many Win9x systems are running; it's even lower than the 0.5% of Win2000 internet users.

[b]ndebord[/b], I am not trying to start flames; I am just requesting info to back up your stated opinions.  Could you please provide stats for your statement about the second most used Windows OS, and elaborate why the stats seem so clearly unreliable to you?[/quote]

This has been clarified some while ago. See my answer to ndebord's post:

2.) [url=http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp]You overestimate user size of win9x.[/url] There are millions but statistically they are few.

p.s. Just as much as these statistics data possibly underestimate the number and share. All relevant pages that are part of statistics bar win9x users from service.

Bared users have to use alternative browsers that can fake OS info in the browser string ( I doubt that any number of users hacks registry to fake IE's agent info ). [/quote]

The link I inserted guided any to fairly accurate, current stats.
You do not have to guess about Vista and Win7 usage. XP -> win7 -> Vista already.

In detail as quote.

2010  	Win7  	Vista  	Win2003  WinXP  W2000  	Linux  Mac
March 	14.7% 	13.7% 	1.4% 	57.8% 	0.5% 	4.5% 	6.9%
[/code]

You did not notice. Maybe You got excited about the fact that I calculated/guessed 9.x usage? Anyway current JavaScript based sniffers cannot detect a faked OS or browser ID.

BTW: The 0.26% unspecified Win32 appear on pages where users do not have to spoof to get services.

p.s. these 0.26% do not appear  on stats that include where U have to spoof. [img]http://kmext.sourceforge.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif[/img][/quote]
