BTW, I tried the same "word search" that the page indicates was a major factor in their user base size determination, and here's what I got: dos: 1684110 windows 95: 1282098 linux: 867343 windows nt: 747023 solaris: 269592 freebsd: 205135 [Totals were actually summed from multiple search hits, keywords like "winnt" and "win95" being also used to catch all the synonyms]. I'm just not sure what it means. Sure are a lot of people still talking about DOS, leading me to believe that this isn't a ranking of most popular OSes, this is a ranking of most *buggy* and poorly documented OSes, forcing people to discuss them in great detail on the net. By that ranking, I guess we're the most trouble free of the batch. :-) Jordan
