More People Browsing with Windows 98 than Vista
Well, it's the end of the month and so I thought I'd fire up Google Analytics to take a look at the stats for a couple of my websites. I didn't really find anything out of the ordinary until I decided to see how many users were using Vista.
Analysing data of the past two weeks gave me the following result (!)
So apparently more users are visiting the website with Windows 98 installed than Vista! and I can't believe people are still using ME. eww
Is this the same with anyone else? or just me?

yeah, it will be a while before vista dominates. Most people won't get it until they change PC. As PC's are generally lasting longer nowadays than say 5 years ago, it will be another 5 years or so i reckon before vista dominates.
quite simply, xp can handle everything at this stage and if it's not broken, why fix it?

Though not as much relevant, but still interesting. I am running two blogs. one technical , and other totally non tech. The non tech blog (John Doe's) has the following OS stats:
84.80% Windows XP
5.80% Windows Vista
3.60% Windows 2000
0.20% Windows 98
The tech blog (Contents Magic) has the following:
68.25% Windows XP
10.72% Windows Vista
1.03% Windows 2000
0.62% Windows 2003
You can clearly see whats happening. It also does not confirm your findings, but my cross section of population may be smaller.

XP 82%
Vista 15%
2000 2%
Server 2003 .39%
98 .13%
I think it all depends on the type of site you have. If you have a technical/web development site, more people will be on XP/Vista. But if you have a site that attracts the older, non-technical users, you might get more users using 98.
