Answers in by 4pm!

windows 7 : 58%

This looks like another fun comp ;)
I'll guess;

38
12
(No I know it doesn't add up to 100, but some people must use Linux or Macs).

hold on, is it only those operating systems you are including, or are you including ALL operating systems and not asking for their percentage?
I have accounted for Linux etc. but not mentioned them ? ?
I did my % for the 3 then increased it equally so it made 100%

So its a percentage from just those 3 meaning Linuz etc isn't included at all? I'll give 2 results then just in case I gave results for the wrong scenario, one (same as above) for the percentage of entire users and then one for if the 3 are supposed to make up the 100% by themselves (i just did some mathes from the first to make them up to 100% evenly).
For % of users in total using those 3 OS
XP - 40%
Vista - 13%
7 - 27%
For % of users just from those 3 OS
XP - 50%
Vista - 16.25%
7 - 33.75%
Win7: 42%
Vista: 24%
XP: 28%
Windows 7 - 50%

Your browser tells our webserver, basically. The OS is sent as part of the User-Agent information which browsers submit when making HTTP requests.
Of just the three OS's in question:
W7: 41%

It will be interesting to see how they work out the answer!
Loads of possible answers.
Win 7 = 30%
Vista = 27%
Xp = 43%
Windows 7 : 32%
Windows XP : 35%
Windows Vista : 33%
40% win7
20% Vista
40% XP.
I'd say given the makeup of Arias customers, Win 7 is going to dominate:
Win 7 56
XP 30
Vista 11
Leaving a few percent for Mac/Linux/Win2K users (there are a few of us still out there)
I'll guess that it's,
32% Win 7
53% xp
15% Vista

7- 52%

I am assumuing that the total will be out of 100% for the total of all 3 OS's, and we aren't including Linux/apples etc which might make the total closer to 70 or 80%..?
If that is the case, then:
XP - 47%
7 - 33%
Vista - 20%
Can a mod move mine around into the correct order please? I dont want to look like im cheating if i did it.
I think most of the answers here will be wrong. You cant add it up to 100% as there are other systems out there:thumb:

Yeah, thats why I asked if the % will be out of these 3 operating systems, or if we are taking others into account. As you say, most have gone for the 100% total but others have taken other OSes into account, so I think it will only be fair to have figures for both and pick the closest person to that..
Windows 7 40%
Windows XP 40%
Windows Vista 20%
win7 58%
win xp 30%
vista 11%

For this forum it's much more likely to be like 95% Windows.

Going with this being a break down of the Windows users (of these three OSes too, as there will be NT, possibly 98, server editions too) that totals 100%...

It's always happened and it allows website owners to categorise their traffic.
While this is not something Aria would do, here is a for example:
"Do I want to release a video using Silverlight on my website?"
Let's take a look at the statistics and see. If you find that your website has like 30% of people visiting it using Linux... probably best not to given that Silverlight is a Microsoft technology.

I never knew that kind of thing happened, what other information is collected then?
I never knew that kind of thing happened, what other information is collected then?
Your IP address as well as some browser information. For example here's the information that's transmitted whenever I visit a page on Firefox:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
wonderlust
03-09-10, 16:24
Will you're nearly half hour late :lol:
Is this of any use to yourselves or is it done for any particular reason?
Yup, what Peter said. This information is then stored (for each 'hit') in the webserver logfile. This is just how it's always worked, it's not something we do 'specially'; generally all webserver logfiles will contain this info, which gets submitted by the browser, by default.
Based on that you can come up with proportions by using logfile analysis software (although in fact we're getting our data from Google Analytics, which works slightly differently, being based on a 'tracker' which passes details of every page hit over to google to track).
Also as Peter said, it's a good idea to know what software your visitors are using, as this can have an impact on the technologies you use to implement the site and also how you test it - for example if we noticed that the WebNinja9001 web browser was becoming increasingly popular, that would be included in our testing practices.
Sooooooo whats the answer?
Aria is megabusy! He will be announcing the winner of this competition shortly, and will also do an evening competition then.
Apologies all round.
