I usually don’t participate in this kind of project, as I find it hard to validate the numbers or statistics provided. However I still think it’s important as users we are counted somehow.
So if you haven’t done so yet, I invite you to register to the Ubuntu Counter. While you’re at it, consider also registering at the Linux Counter. If you know of any other sources for Linux user-base stats and info, I’d be glad to hear about them.
I do not think these counters will ever show the real greater number because they require giving up ones privacy.
I simply moved on because I did not like the REQUIRED questions. I’d bet most also don’t indicate their usage too.
It may be good enough to realize that open software users are under counted, huge in number and nothing or no one can stop the growth of a better way, in this case.
Just try it. http://www.kubuntu.com ; Dapper.
