What is most popular OS used in the world?
Windows? Think again. MOST USED
This is one of those thinking outside the box kind of things.

Toss up between NT4 and W2K, I'd hazard a guess.

PC's with Pentiums maybe were used the most, I could be wrong.

Apple beleaves they were set free from those dull little boxes called PC's. I started to love apple's after all the problems with Windows. However, its stupid to have 2 format's Mac & PC, Thats what I hate. My teacher was angry because she had to switch to Mac & her CD was PC format. Formats should be combined.

You may like to read this article for it is also ITRON even with pc's.
Read about how the U.S. tried stopping them. It's hard to comprehend the fact that it is relatively unknown by most people. But I would say half the world using TRON, in what ever capacity, is still not totally knowledgeable to that fact.
I haven't heard any arguements coming from this link once the info is read.

Clearly, the reality of it is ITRON is not the end-product OS most people use on their home PC. Otherwise, we would have an ITRON forum, instead of Mac, Linux, and the various Windows flavours.

Nick, you should know better than to challenge me

IBM PC compatible/Operating systems -(Wikipedia)
1999 OS statistics -(StatMarket.com)
2000 OS stats (at bottom) -(OSData.com)
Stats for the last 3 years (about 1/3rd down, directly after browser stats) -(W3Schools.com)

Questions?
