Most servers do not show up in browser and http server

Who's talking about servers? We all know Linux is really strong in
servers. No argument there.
Web
browser and server statistics can not and do not account for the majority of
the computers out there because huge numbers of them are not being used for
web browsing
I submit that most desktops *are*.
Similar for web browsing, since many of the larger
ISPs are using
transparent caching proxies of their own.
If those modified the browser user agent, then they'd probably
/inflate/ user figures. But I don't think that they do.
Either way, such things would affect /all/ users on all platforms, no?
That isn't even taking into
account that many Linux users end up configuring their browsers to report
false user agent strings
Very very rare, IME.
in order to force the numerous broken websites out
there to still work with browsers other than Firefox and Internet Explorer
under MS Windows.
That way something the hardcore did in the 1990s. It's unheard-of now.
I see a broken site a few times a /decade./
