If you look at this site, the "register"
pages list they are broken and not to use.

Also, look at the machine column.  This is
obviously a "mock" sample of data to test
the counters (1 machine for each?)

So, you have 1 FreeBSD machine with 50K users,
and 1 NetBSD machine with 75 users, etc.etc.

Such a site would be cool, but the statistics
would only be as accurate as it's visibility 
and participation and would have no bearing
on the "real" component of the OS usages (i.e.
it would show the sample of how many NetBSD,
FreeBSD users participated, not any idea of
real deployment counts).

Check out the BSD census web page at...

http://www.bsdcounter.org/

...and up the count (now at only 75) for NetBSD versus 
+50K for FreeBSD. Can that be right?
