How Microsofties and Googlers visit Hartnett headquarters
By William M. Hartnett on Oct 17, 2008 in featured, geekery, site stats
I noticed some visitors on Microsoft corporate networks landing on my post about a little glitch in Live Search Maps and decided to have a look at which browsers and operating systems they used. It goes without saying that I’m not trying to make any broader points here. On the other hand, I just said it like 16 words ago, so there you are.
After the jump are the details for Microsoft visitors between February 13, 2007, which I consider this site’s date of birth, and October 16, 2008, which I consider, somewhat controversially, to be yesterday. The numbers don’t add up to 100 percent because they just don’t, and that’s just something we’re all going to have to live with, as there really isn’t anything we can do about it.

What about visitors from Google? You’re not going to believe your luck, because I have those numbers right here.
