I happened to be looking at the stats on a website I recently created for a large well-known IT company (whose name is a three-letter acronym) and was surprised how few of the hits were from Firefox. It was 96% IE and just 4% Firefox. When I looked at OS, it was virtually 100% Windows. Curious, I thought, that's not what I would have expected from an IT company.
So that got me thinking. I took a look at Feedburner's stats for this blog, which could be categorised a Rails Blog as I rarely talk about anything else, and found Firefox 54%, IE 26%, Safari 11% and Opera 9%. So I scrolled down expecting to see masses of Macs and yet ... 67% Windows, 25% Macs and 8% Linux.
So does this mean more people develop Rails applications on Windows than anywhere else? I strongly suspect it does.
