OS and browser versions in use at the moment

This is just an interesting FYI for the statistics geeks out there (like me.)

Web site owners can check a statistical analysis of their monthly visitors. A good stats program (like Google Analytics) will give you lots of "non-personal" information about your visitors to your site.

I sometimes get statements from drivers like "Internet Explorer is terrible which is why everybody is using Firefox now." OR – “They should make such-and-such program for Mac because "lot" of drivers use Macs.”

So I check on the actual numbers periodically and thought some of you might might it interesting. Based on a sample of 50,000+ truck drivers in the month of October:

OPERATING SYSTEMS:
Drivers using Windows XP: 42.62%
Drivers using Windows Vista: 28.73%
Drivers using Windows 7: 27.65%
Drivers using all other previous Windows versions: 1.7%
Drivers using an Android OS: 4.49%
Drivers using a Mac: 4.29%
Drivers using iPhones: 2.76%
Drivers using a Blackberry: .76%
Drivers using an iPad: .45%
Drivers using Linux: .38%

BROWSERS:
Internet Explorer: 63%
Firefox: 16.59%
Safari: 9%
Chrome: 5.27%
All other browsers combined: 6.14%

 

Chrome is even faster if she is concerned with speed too.

 

Well, mine is terrified of spiders and Brussels sprouts, so I guess it's always something.
