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.

Is this perhaps because many people have browsers (or have set up their
browsers) to not reveal what OS or computer they are using?

I know in some of the less-popular browsers you can set them to show up as IE,
or some other client. But I do not think that would effect the OS, But am not
positive either way. If a computer was set up to hide the OS I would asume it
would not register as Windows or anything else. But I am also not showing
browser numbers here.

But even if a good number of Mac users did somehow cloak thier settings - it is
still an very small percentage of the market. And Lego is a profit-driven
company. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread it would not make much sense
profit-wise for them to spend much money going after such a small market
percentage.
