If we remove them from the survey, this leaves us with 75% of 5.33%, which is something around 3.96%.

I think the 5.33% is a bug, 3.96% sounds more realistic and in line with the growth linux was having before.

I think this is an error on the survey. Was anybody able to talk to Valve about this? I forgot which email to send this question to.

    Naa, it’s not a bug. The Steam Hardware and Software survey is a random sampling of machines. Sometimes it’s just an over sampling in some demographic. It seems to happen occasionally. I’m sure there will likely be a pull back as per usual. But, I think it will be more in the low to mid 4%. I think the network affect is finally kicking in. Always good to see YoY growth, so no complaints.
