    Would anyone like to take part in a quick poll to see what browser/OS we all use? If so, head on over to http://davidsalter.co.uk/browser/[^] and log your browser details. This should settle the Linux v's Windows debate once and for all :~ :~

    Right, I've given you a click from this machine at work (IE5!! urrgh!!) - it'd say Mozilla/WinXP if I was at home, and I'd give you a visit from my web server too (Lynx/Debian Linux) but sadly ssh ports are blocked from here :( -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

              humm... when I posted the message (few hours ago) I was the second browser collected. Now, considering Europe mighday and American wake-up, and cosiderng many CPians to go there ... may be it's normal to find many "windows users". Asians ... had probaly lost the post, and will read this evening (Europe late afternoon). And we had collected CP users's browsers. But ... how about if the same post wuold be done on a Linux forum ?!? 2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:

                  Currently about 6% of people are using Linux, which I suppose is not too surprising given where we've all come from. The majority of the hits so far have been from Europe with just under 50% of people using Firefox and just under 40% using IE. It'll be interesting to see if this changes significantly when America wakes up. I don't know any linux forums to ask the question in. Do you?

                              I was going to agree, but IE has just overtaken Firefox.:eek:

                                  Won't this survey only show what browsers people use for CP? I use Firefox for CP, Opera for everything else.

                                    It's got 1! Just because I am the only one using it does not prove it is NBG, see my previous post.

                                      I use IE (actually Maxthon) for accessing CodeProject and Microsoft only. So in this case my browser is logged as IE but my primary browser is Firefox.

                                          Thats correct. There's not a lot of science here, just a quick poll.
