Subject: website poll results: I share files with MS Windows by

Hi,

I've switched the poll on the website again.

Here are the results of the previous one:

Voters Percent Description
1298 27.8% NTFS if I could.
918 19.7% Why use Windows?
633 13.6% NTFS with ntfsmount.
626 13.4% A samba share on some server.
595 12.7% FAT32 forever.
358 7.7% ext2 driver for Windows.
241 5.2% Why use Linux?

Number of Voters : 4669
First Vote : Sunday, 14 May 2006 07:57
Last Vote : Sunday, 16 July 2006 13:46

Interpretation:
Most of the users (1961 - 41.4%) use NTFS for file sharing (remember the bias).
1579 (33.8%) users use workarounds. (Samba/fat32/ext2)
1159 (24.9%) clearly entered the wrong site. (Why use Windows/Linux?)
0 (-0.1%) users got lost due to rounding errors. :-)

I did not look at the poll until now, so I don't know how the
slashdotting that happened due to ntfs-3g announcement effected the
results.

Overall, NTFS with full R/W rocks!

Sincerely
-- Yuval
