Ziff-Davis presents...

[Paul King]

Click through once more to an "operating system" on that list shown as "x86". You 
will find that now that you narrow the field down to the Intel processor, Linux 
is first (3405), and Windows is second (758). All others are way in the rear of 
the pack. Of course, since this is x86, you can't directly compare this to MacOS 
and others. 

But FreeBSD is now at 84 - only slightly ahead of BeOS (75); something called 
JxOS is at 273 (slightly ahead of SCO at 271); another one I don't know: Bug OS 
at 228. These 3 OSes are in third, fourth and fifth place for the x86.
