Well - I'm open to suggestions:

When I made the categories, I though that Linux is the baseline. Mac
OS X seems different to the other BSDs, in that there's stuff like
COCOA support. ANd WinCE is different to the other Windows, more so
that (say) XP is different to 2000. Anyway, that was _my_ reasoning.
I'd be happy to recast the poll differently.

And in general, if people want to e-mail me suggestions for polls, I'd
be delighted.
