  Could be - but that doesn't explain why its biased for F8 .. in fact
would you not expect more people to use smolt over time - as suspicion
fades about big brother etc ...

  I suspect some are lagged as always - hence the large F7 base - these
could be server type installs which usually come after the admin has
experience with the desktop and is comfortable with it.

  Then I imagine the KDE issue has prevented many from upgrading until
KDE 4.2 is out - too bad smolt cant easily answer the kde vs gnome usage
- its not just an install issue - need to scan for dates inside .kde and
.gnomeX perhaps - maybe ignore anything over X weeks old etc. Maybe
someone can figure out a way.

   It would also be interesting to know the laptop install base too -
which while large I doubt would be more than 1/2 the installs. Did F7
and F8 have a way during install to connect to encrypted wireless ? If
not that could not have been a biasing issue either - if it did then yes
it may indeed.
