It's the same in other sites (about 2/3 of mine are unidentified).

That's just a small reason (among bigger ones*) why bogus 'stats' from sources
like "Net Applications" are meaningless. A Lot of Linux boxes are not at all
identified as "Linux" and I've seen people's whose HTTP headers say "indows"
although they use Gentoo at work.

* The bigger reasons include measuring of referrals, not traffic, in _selected_
sites. It's an art of deception, but people blindly believe charts (oh!
pictures).
