Browsers and OS's for Chemblog access

So we've had well in excess of 10,000 accesses to the chembl-og so far, and I thought it might be time to do a little bit of analysis of the accesses do far in terms of OS, and browsers, java-support and so forth. All the sort of nice details provided by google analytics. Of course, the sample here may not be representative of the eventual users of the group's data, but I found the results interesting, and they will be factored into our interface testing processes. As an aside, all numbers are for 'Visits'.

Operating Systems

Browsers

85% of browsers have java enabled. 98.4% have 24 bit (or higher) colour. 92% have 1024x768 (or higher) screen resolution, 81.8% have 1200x800 (or higher) screen resolution.

Interesting preponderance of Macs and Safari, far higher than the totals for these in the general public I'm guessing.

I was surprised myself, I was expecting about 80% Windows and about 60% IE. I have noticed that mac usage is increasing amongst the people I meet - just a few killer apps on macs would make a big difference - for example SpotFire....
