True.  OTOH, if Unix were included in one category, the relative numbers
for Windows and Mac OS would be far lower than they are right now.  For
instance, in this set:

Respondents so far: 395
Top 10 most used platforms

 Linux                    234
 Win 95, 98, NT           191
 Solaris                  173
 MacOS                    131
 SunOS                    116
 Free-, Net-, OpenBSD     67
 HP-UX                    57
 IRIX                     53
 AIX                      47
 DEC Unix, OSF/1          44

The aggregated numbers would look something like:

 Unixish                  791
 Win 95, 98, NT           191
 MacOS                    131

Actually, the numbers would look a bit worse, because most of the
OSs BELOW the top 10 are also Unixish...  In any event, MacPerl is
still holding onto fourth place, having beaten back a brief flurry
of SunOS activity.
