My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.
My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.
I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.

Where and/or when do we get to see the results?
Not much to report yet. Current score is 75% use that other OS and 50% use GNU/Linux on desktops/notebooks. Clearly, many use both (work and home, etc.). 85% use Android/Linux on smart phones. I will give it a few weeks to collect meaningful stats, but the real problem is how to make such a available to a wider audience. It’s my first poll, however, and a learning experience. I may try to do something like this over the phone at Christmas break or later.
Oh, I didn’t realize it was your poll. I thought it was some site like IDG. In that case take as long as you like.
