| 1101 | M K | I've been using Linux at home solely for almost a year now, and I visit BBC site daily. I think I deserve to the same right as Windows users. Especially in a time when Linux is getting more recognition and you (BBC) setting platform for years to come. |
| 1102 | Frederik Ferner | I don't even have any windows machine. |

| 1110 | John Veryan | I visit the BBC website several times a day, whether is is looking at the Cbeebies website with my daughter or reading news articles. I have the UK headlines and the Technology headlines on my iGoogle home page as RSS feeds. My wife also reads the local news pages. I only use Ubuntu Linux on my PCs. |

| 1113 | roymac | I use several flavors of *nix - Redhat, Fedora, SUSE are my main ones. There are times when I am forced to use M$'s IE as many website designers are do not use open standards and their rubbish will only run on IE. It is a shame that folks are taking an approach to server only the mainstream. They do this using technology that is less good and makes their job harder in the long run. |

| 1117 | Ron Simpkin | Yes this is a ridiculously low figure, I have accessed the BBC site many times using linux as has my father. |
| 1118 | Suzie Hill | I prefer not to use windows |
| 1119 | Martyn Welch | How exactly is he gathering these statistics? Browser Identification? Because I suspect a proportion of Linux users who fake that to ensure that the sites with useless "browser identification" let them in.
If they are truly "committed to universality, to getting the service out to everyone, and to platform neutrality" then this approach should have been taken from the outset, rather than building a windows only client which quite obviously won't extend to other platforms. |
| 1120 | Anonymous | Wrong!
I wonder if he included all those linux based smartphones, set top boxes, PDA's or thin-client computers? |
| 1121 | Toby Simpson | Have used Linux for browsing for many years. Wouldn't use Windows because of security fears. |

| 1123 | Anna Baik | Have been reading BBC News more or less daily since it started, using Mozilla/Firefox on a Linux box - about a decade! |

| 1134 | Anonymous | I use Ubuntu or Fedora with Firefox. I usually do NOT visit the home page, as the "latest headlines" is pre-encoded in the bookmarks list. Occasionally I'll change the browser string to fake out IE -- I guess I'll STOP doing that. If you can't be compatible with me, I don't want to read you that bad. |
| 1135 | Chris White | I daily use linux to access bbc website |

| 1145 | Anonymous | Why get locked into proprietry tools when better open source software is freely available? Who gets the kickbacks? |
