I'm pretty sure that the majority of people here use an Apple computer.

Apple might have the largest share on HN - but it's certainly not a majority over Win + Linux.

That poll's about a year and a half old - I wonder if it's changed much since then?

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1511643 this was more recent (6 months). It included emacs which brought "Other" up a bit.

Linux: Went from 36.4% to 39.3%

OSX: Went from 38.1% to 31.4%

Windows: Went from 21.9% to 23.4%

Other: Went from 3.6% to 5.9%

It would be better to see actual OSes used by visitor. Maybe one of the maintainers could provide this data.
