I feel like this would be easier to draw conclusions from if I had absolute counts rather than percentages. Was the change in the Linux share due to other platforms (Windows) increasing their numbers, or did the total number of Linux users dip and then return? The latter seems difficult to explain.

Maybe just margin of error. Since the machines surveyed are different each time
