Don't forget to vote!

[bleen]

hehe, maybe we can get the numbers up to 99% for the yes like we did with that one best UNIX poll Everyone vote yes on OS X. No, but we got to show dominance even in MSNBC.

Oddly, I remember seeing some similar poll about Windows XP, but I don't remember seeing a "I don't use Windows" as a choice.

What a bunch of sh*t, "no I don't use Macs" is an option. Remember grasshopper, M$nbc.

I do not get why I cannot vote like a hundred times. I cleared my cookies and refreshed the page, but all I got was this:

It appears that your browser doesn't support cookies, so we can't record your vote. If you've received this message in error, please contact MSNBC technical support.

Maybe I will have to clear the cache too....

Well, this puts the DVD issue in perspective:

Yes.
�18%
Yes, but I'll wait until the problems are worked out and features are added in.
�16%
No, the Mac OS I use now is good enough for me.
�5%
No, I don't use Macs.
�61%

blech.

pssss... if you have more then one browser (Netscape, IE, and iCab) you get 1 vote per browser

[the_sisko]

So let's see. There's IE, OmniWeb, Mozilla, and iCab for OSX. IE, Netscape, iCab, and Opera for OS9. So we should each be able to vote 8 times? Let's do it!!

[gorgonzola]

Or, if you really care, you could clean install the OS over and over again so you'd get an infinite number of votes.

Yeah, but isn't it good news that although these folk who don't use macs (yet!) are at least interested enough in OS X to read an article about it?

Even better, you could just create a couple thousand users, login as each of them individually, and vote away. Don't u just live real multiuser environments?

I just want to remind everybody that it is not fair game to vote more than once.

I don't think it's fair that the poll has a "I don't use macs" option. It skews the important data - that is, how many people think OSX is better than OS9.x and below (90% of reported mac users by this survey). Oh well. The poll isn't scientific to begin with. It only samples (not randomly at that) people who read msnbc.com, not mac, or even computer users in general.

if we do vote more than once, then maybe pc users will see the polls and finally realize how many of us they up against. I have a site www.angelfire.com/mac/kidx, it's not much but I'm writing about MSNBC and MSN, about how they're MS's media machines. It's under the RACISM section of my site.
