Oh no here we go...  :)

Seriously, the numbers are probably even more skewed by the popularity of the 
OS. For example, RH and Mandrake have higher numbers because they are among 
the more popular distros.

If we thought this was accurate, we'd all be using BeOS for our servers - did 
you note how BeOS has only one hole? IMO studies like this are rubbish and 
unscientific. Nobody needs meaningless numbers to conclude that Windows is a 
load of tits  :)

luv Jon.
