Interesting analysis of the operating systems used by official candidate web sites<\/a>.  The Dems tend toward open source, the GOP toward Windows.<\/p>\n

Which shouldn’t be read into too much, I suspect, as I doubt any of the candidates could tell you the OS of their site.  Does their having hired firms\/designers (or hired folks who hired folks who hired those folks) that use one type of web platform or another actually reflect something about them as leaders, or provide insight into their Administration’s policies on technology or intellectual property.<\/p>\n

Probably not.  But it is interesting, and at this stage of the game it’s a large enough statistical universe to almost seem meaningful.<\/p>\n

(Interestingly, before anyone still tries to draw too many conclusions, the front runners tend to buck the overall trend — Romney and Giuliani are on Linux\/Apache, Hillary’s on Windows\/IIS.)<\/p>\n
