This holds true on my personal Lego sites as well also (Land of Bricks and
PromoBricks) -- Mac is only about 5%


personally, i think it's ludicrous that LEGO has yet to support the Mac
platform.

I would not go out of my way for 5% of the market. Ace, join the dark sde ;)


Interesting stats. I wonder why the software distinguishes between various
versions of Windows but does not distinguish between classic Mac OS and Mac OS
X. I'm very surprised that the "other" category is higher than Unix.

Anyway, quite it's possible (depending on how your software collects the data)
that the Windows numbers are bloated because a lot of Mac and Unix/Linux users
have their web browser user-agent set to MSIE for Windows.

(they often have to do that due to all of the ignorant web developers who put in
javascripts that block out non MSIE for Win users)


Finally, as I explained in a seperate post, it's not so much asking them to "go
out of their way" to support non-Windows users, but asking that they stop
(inadvertently) taking measures to deny them.

(...) I would say 10% is way high - take a look at my stats for 2 different non-lego sites I either run or help out on (neither of them have anything to do with each other). These stats are starting from 6-1-04: (platform hits percentage) Windows XP (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.lego)
