tornado chasers

i'm watching the new discovery channel show storm chasers, great show.
They had a technical problem with their computer, the one that gives them data from their radar, and it showed them rebooting... and it is running XP.

is that a big wonder? a guesstimated 90% (more like 70-80 me thinks) of all computers besides servers run windows.

I'd say 70% is right for using Windows as the main/only OS, 90% if you include those who dual-boot and only use Windows for gaming or specialist software which isn't available in Linux.

It has been a long time since I have seen it, but for a while I would occasionally see a "guru meditation" from an Amiga that was being used on a directory channel or similar.
