Is Sun Solaris on its deathbed? (New York Times)

I know that there are lots of MacOSX users. They just don't seem to be hitting my blog.

I have spoken with others in different spaces, and they report relatively similar statistics, though some times the windows and linux switch places.

For a desktop presence that is "so obviously larger" than Linux, it appears that (from the several months of data we have gathered) that Linux is being used as a desktop OS by more than 4x the number of MacOSX users.

Looking at web-logs should be simple, and a relatively accurate gauge on who is using what to browse the desktop. Sure, some might argue that its just a bunch of ninnies sitting in data centers on their servers running X and firefox ... But that would be pretty weak reasoning. What's more interesting to me is that the Linux browser user base appears to be more than 1/3 of the windows browser user base. Obviously qualified as "from hits on my blog". But this is really the only objective measure we have of any OS penetration on desktops.

To keep the context, yes we see Solaris. 0.4% of views. 0.1% is iphone.
