srochford Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 What do the numbers mean? Is it visitors (I know there are fewer than 203,941 members but I'd guess lots of people visit anonymously) or is it just pages retrieved? (ie if I visit Edugeeek 10 times today from a Windows 7 machine does that count as 10??) I'd guess what I'm asking is does that tell me the number of unique machines visiting the site or the number of visits (so someone who has the page auto-refreshing every 10 seconds counts an awful lot!)
john Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Nice to see MAC is a long way down, shows that Windows is King Surprised how high up 7 is though, has it gone higher since the launch of it or just a gentle gradual increase? I would be interested to know the Win95 users though

It is every indivigual computer that visits Edugeek, It wouldn't be anything to shout about if it was every time someone visited the site really would it? I am interested in seeing the Windows95 users! James.

I would be interested to know the Win95 users though Mac is higher than XP though...
Edu-IT Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Mac is higher than XP though... No, it's not? 203941 - XP 25533 - Mac
tech_guy Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Wow - people still using Windows 95, 98 & ME - surely some risk there particularly with the 95 & 98 machines on the Internet?
theriver Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Does it tell you who the 6 using windows 95 are? More to the point, who the poor luckless ones using Windows ME are? ;-)
tom_newton Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Where's Linux? Or is it just me, RF and nile?
FN-GM Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 No, it's not? 203941 - XP 25533 - Mac Ignore me i have gone blind!
john Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Ignore me i have gone blind! Oh dear, to be topical I could say that excuse has already been used this week by the PM Gordon Brown - BBC NEWS | Politics | Grieving mother's challenge to PM but it is bad taste really. As for 'Nix I'd guess its rather low.
tmcd35 Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Got to admit, I'd be interested in seeing a more complete list. Between Mac and Win98 is it just several different flavours of Linux/BSD or are there som other truely obscure OS popping up like Haiku?
