Whet might be also interesting is to have (also) bare numbers of
responses.  Percentage alone wouldn't tell full story.  If you have
(for example) 1000 Linux users, and there gets released native MacOS X
binary installer, and here comes 500 MacOS X users, the percentage
would decrease, because there are now more users, some of which are
not Linux users.

Footnotes:
[#] First download on current msysGit page is from Aug 2007
[*] Including unspecified version of Git for MS Windows.
[?] "Other, please specify" not included.  It also doesn't
    take into account overlap (one might use both msysGit and Cygwin
    version, e.g. on different computers)
