Just a small remark: Jürgen Schmidt wrote: JSC: interesting is that only 10.7 and 10.9.2 systems were used. Ok , 10.7 don't work anymore but I mean more the lack of 10.8, 10.9 10.9.1. Good to see that people upgrade fast After installing 10.9.2, I can see why now: 10.9.2 upgrade is offered for free(!) by Apple. Maybe that helps to explain part of the mystery. P.S. I'd recommend to mention the number of people, too; not just percentages. E.g. Mac 10.7 - 11.11% (2) In case number of people is small, 0% isn't that a rare incident.
