No, it doesn't. Linux was always behind OSX on this survey. It only changed very recently, and because these survey results fluctuate from month to month, it wasn't clear that it would remain this way.

wow. that's what i'd call weird computer science. like, we could take that 80's song and get all blinded by computer science. thanks for that. I always thought linux would be ahead. about time the evil was overcome. it's been a huge war. we users of linux have had to suffer. we might not have had to bleed to death, but we didn't spend a premium on a mac and just let everything work, except our games.
