    The only reference people have for these kind of judgements is polling by browser.

    You’re talking about users of a specific OS who would spend time to not make that known. They would also opt-out if any reporting about there machine specifics for polls, should they be asked.

    I can guarantee real world usage is always higher than these polls suggest. I don’t know about 10%, but they are higher in actuality.

      i had a similar thought; up until almost 3 years ago, i setup my browser’s agent string to always report that it’s running windows to get the good prices for online shopping.
