I'd love to see the stats for HN for browser use.

On February 20, I had a story hit the front page of HN on a brand-new blog that didn't receive traffic from anywhere else.

Here are some screen shots from my analytics.

For the amount of *nix people I see showing out on here, I'm surprised that it's only 10% - although for the Web in general, that's an absurdly high number, still!

Some percentage of Windows visits could be browsing at work, maybe?

Hmm...

HN could use the user's ISP to guess whether they were home or at work, then correlate that with OS data.

That's actually an interesting idea!
