Just would like to point out that the group 'all desktops' is of no
interest. The group 'desktops of people who have a use for octave'
maybe is and I'm guessing the 2 linux/windows populations in that
group will be very different.

Are you seriously claiming that windows users have no use for octave? Did I get your point right? Can you substantiate this claim? (Hint: independent statistics/research)
