Ice_Blue Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 As of 4:30 p.m. today (GMT-4): 6,477 members has voted. Out of these: 64% use Windows 8/8.1 (4,127 votes) 28% use Windows 7 (1,842 votes) 0.1% use Vista (51 votes) 0.3% use XP (208 votes) 0.4% use Other OS (249 votes) Interesting. This would mean the vast majority of Neowin members are on Windows 8./8.1 I had expected from reading the various forum topics that it would be around the same numbers for Windows 8 vs Windows 7 (or maybe slightly in favour of Windows 8/8.1). However, the percentages only add up to 92.8% ? Rounding errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted February 10, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2014 the above % are wrong 63.7% use Windows 8/8.1 (4,127 votes) 28.4% use Windows 7 (1,842 votes) 0.8% use Vista (51 votes) 3.2% use XP (208 votes) 3.8% use Other OS (249 votes) comes to 99.9 give or take for rounding Ice_Blue 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted February 10, 2014 Reporter Share Posted February 10, 2014 The percentages must be a bit wonky, because the numerical values add up correctly. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick H. Supervisor Posted February 10, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted February 10, 2014 Either way, we appear to be a community of tech-oriented people looking for the next piece of tech to mess around with. Who would have thought? :p Chasethebase and Andre S. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Neowin has only 6500 memebrs? That can't be right... can it? Sorry if sarcasm but that's only the people who voted on the poll. Ice_Blue 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry if sarcasm but that's only the people who voted on the poll. Yes, I just love the "This would mean the vast majority of Neowin members are on Windows 8./8.1", when your sample size is a fraction of the actual users... Maybe it should read, a vast majority of the people voting in the poll are Windows 8 users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
