<pre wrap="">This are interesting results. The first thing I didn't expect is, that
it seems there are more users of TB in germany than in usa. I had
expected the opposite.</pre>

why? I think it reflects the Firefox market share. *And Germans are
very, very privacy aware so there is a tendency to trust Fx more
than chrome.<br>

hmm, no surprise there. if you look at the cost of entry level
hardware, windows users have an advantage.<br>

Again, not too surprising as a lot of linux distros bundle
Thunderbird; what mail clients does Mac OS bundle?<br>

Are you referring to page 11? <br>

It seems to me your conclusions are wrong :)<br>
<br>
Since the survey makes no claim on overall market share of Mac users
vs Windows users, and also doesn't state that the numbers are
normalized against this, this is likely just a reflection of the
overall number of Mac users in these countries. We got to be very
careful with numbers from statistics like this it is easy to jump to
the wrong conclusions.<br>
