As with the recent post on HN's age/gender, this does not reflect data obtained ~5 months ago through a HN poll [0]. On one hand, the poll probably has some self-selection bias, it is only representative of registered users and it asks "what's your primary OS" rather than "what OS are you using right now". On the other hand, the "date range picker for Twitter Bootstrap" post was probably heavily biased towards people who use Bootstrap and it measures what OS visitors were using when visiting which is not necessarily their primary OS. Anyways, here's the results from the HN poll:

    OS          Points
    --          ------
    OSX         3252 (40.9%)
    Linux       2666 (33.5%)
    Windows     1729 (21.7%)
    iOS         104 (1.3%)
    Android     99 (1.2%)
    Other Unix 
    variant     73 (0.9%)
    Chrome OS   20 (0.3%)
    Other       15 (0.2%)
