Hmmmm, not really ;-)
Actually, the results have been expected; And like today's election
results, the leader stays first, and the other side stays smaller, and
the surprise comes from the neutral camp.
Since I promised to summarize the results before Mina Zemach and Haim
Yavin, I'll do it now, but I want to send a yet another summary in a
few days, with analysis of the connection between the preferred desktop
manager and the reasons.
Each result, comes twice (2 numbers):
The first: any answer is counted ONCE.
The second: any answer that refers to X computers, is counted X.
Although the second number is important, the first is more exact; I
don't want to dig too deeply into statistical descriptions, but when
there are some people who are responsible (each) for many computers
(like 15), the Sampling Error jumps to the sky.
And the winner is...:
Answers:
========
My desktop environment management is:
-------------------------------------
15 35 1. Only KDE.

01 01 3. Both.
05 05 4. I prefer Gnome.
04 18 5. Only Gnome.
07 11 0. None.
(sum:)
------
21 41 1+2
09 23 4+5
Reasons (please check all that apply):
--------------------------------------
08 14 A. Better Hebrew support.
01 01 B. Licensing.
04 07 C1. Similarity to Windows GUI.
04 04 C2. Difference from Windows GUI.
02 16 D. My company/organization dictates/recommends this desktop.
00 00 E1. This is the only desktop coming with my distribution.
04 06 E2. This is the default desktop that my distribution offers.
04 04 E3. This is the desktop that is best supported by my distribution.
05 09 F. I use an application(s) that runs better under this desktop (please
detail - which app).
08 08 G1. Historical reasons.
18 34 G2. I've got used to this desktop.
12 18 G3. I have a lot of existing configurations/customizations for this
desktop, and/or existing investments.
15 36 H. Another reason (PLEASE DETAIL)
If you want to combine the numbers, I would suggest to multiply the
first number by 3 and add it to the second number.
Please don't conclude anything from this survey;
Its main conclusions, require the analysis I mentioned above, which
will come later...
