At the SourceForge blog, Amy Vernon has blogged about the how an unprecedented number of Mac users are using open source software
“ We combed through about two years’ worth of data on SourceForge, looking at the platforms of the users who downloaded projects, and millions more Mac users are downloading open source projects now than were in February 2010. In the same time, Windows downloads have increased by a much smaller percentage and Linux downloads have actually declined. “ (11/21/2011) |
