Perhaps it would have been useful to note Greg's employer, as a tool to help readers evaluate his possible bias (I didn't know offhand that he was a Novell employee, for instance, untill reading mdz's followup).

I'd of thought his email on the first slide gave it away. And anyway he's showing the numbers even when Novell doesn't come up as high as certain distros.

If you saw the slides you'd seen the suse.de email on the first slide, but if you were an LWN.net subscriber who read the article and didn't read the comments, you wouldn't have known the rest of the story. I like to think that the comments section is additional info, and not a place to be visited for a notable piece of the story that is missing.

I agree, it's unusual for a LWN piece to be this one-sided.
