    .. as taken from our counter for the site www.pseudodictionary.com, a site that has NOTHING to do with computers.

    Win 98 80178 (45%)
    Win 2000 33183 (18%)
    Unknown 17948 (10%)
    Win NT 15051 (8%)
    Mac 13085 (7%)
    Win 95 11717 (6%)
    Linux 2459 (1%)
    Win 3.x 1055 (0%)
    Unix 761 (0%)
    WebTV 226 (0%)
    OS/2 24 (0%)
    Amiga 4 (0%)

    The scariest thing is that win98 is still 45%. If not being part of that 45% is wrong, I don't wanna be right, baby!

    That only proves that Linux users don't search for stuff online cause they're so knowledgable while Windows users have to resort to search engines to get where they're going! Your statistics are LIES! Or maybe Windows users just search for more porn.
