Many people view webstats with a jaundiced eye--with good reason. (page)[1][2]
Linux advocate Robert Pogson finds these statistics interesting; while not taking the numbers as gospel, he finds the trends to be fascinating. In recent weeks, he noticed an upward trend in online Linux usage numbers that has continued.[3]
oiaohm,[4] in the 3rd comment,[2] suspects there is a correlation with the revelation of the preinstalled Superfish malware on Lenovo consumer PCs, with owners apparently abandoning their manufacturer-supplied "recovery" mechanisms, defecting from Redmond's easily-exploited OS, and going instead for Linux install media.
So, Soylentils, any other guesses on a cause? Any estimates on how long the current trend will last? Will it then decrease or increase?

- [3] Did Internet Exploder ever get .SVG support?
- [4] oiaohm is a very knowledgeable guy but his dyslexia can make his writing difficult to decipher.

It seems to point to a Google search that has exactly 3 entries.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

Because the search term only appears on three pages (as far as Google knows)
Here's another for your bemusement - the search fragment "only appears on seven pages" also only generates three results: https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=%2B%22only%20appears%20on%20seven%20pages%22&=&=&oq=&gs_l= [google.com]
