Your thought was a good thought. It just came to my mind that doing so might not be as good an indicator as one may think.
Chris already has such statistics available to him. The web server should be keeping a log of the o/s the browser to this site is running atop (in addition to a variety of other information such as browser flavor, etc).

You're probably right. Not for inaccuracy but because popularity of an OS is more interesting to OS vendors than developers I guess, at least in a long term. What makes me, for one, interested to the results of this survey is the release of new version of some OS's and the battle between them.

I didn't know that. Maybe that's why he started this poll: "he knew the results" 
Some people believe smart people don't ask a question unless when they know the answer in advanced. Maybe Chris is too smart

My current development environment is on Windows XP. However, my target clients have thier servers setup on Windows Server 2003 and a few still on Windows 2000 Servers.
