So.. uh.. slashdot?
Every now and then slashdot links to a story on dslreports.. this time around they linked to a very busy and long thread in the forums.. News stories are easy, threads are worse (much more heavy-weight and intensive on servers).. so it bogged down the servers a tad requiring me to balance traffic around and such..
Interesting tidbit.. A large percentage of the hits were IE users.. A very large percentage..
So.. uh.. slashdot users? IE? Come-on guys! So why all the Microsoft bashing?

they were at work, perhaps?

IE for $, Mozilla for play. Or something like that. I was one of the galeon users though :)

most of the people on slashdot smart enough to post are linux users... the ones "just smart enough to read and click" are your stampeed of windows users ;)
