Minuwet
was enabled on the campus Aruba environment this term. In addition to
providing network access control, it provides us with useful data about client
machines.
There
were about 152,000 logins by 11,970 users during the last 30 days (July 10-Aug
10, 2009).
87% of
the logins are running minuwet. The other 13% are not; they either do not
use the Internet or are using 802.1X for which minuwet is not presently
enabled.

The
breakdown is not totally accurate, several users dual boot or use
virtualization to run multiple operating systems.
While
Windows dominates, MacOS is proving very popular and Linux can't be
ignored. From this we learn campus software purchases should consider Mac
compatibility wh
enever possible.
The
1604 iPhones vastly outnumbered the 168 blackberries on our wireless networks.
Of the
devices claiming to be Windows,
· 16% fail minuwet
· 53% pass minuwet
· 32% don't run minuwet
The
32% which don't run minuwet either choose not to run it, or have javascript
turned off on their browser. Some security people recommend people
turn off javascript.
The
breakdown of Windows web browsers is
· Gecko (firefox) 45%
· MS IE 42%
· Chrome 9%
· Opera 0.9%
· Safari 0.7%
Some users
use multiple browsers.
The
breakdown of all web browsers for all operating systems is
· Gecko (firefox) 40 %
· MS IE 30%
· Safari 9%
· iPhone 9%
· Chrome 7%
· Opera 5%
Again,
some users use multiple browsers.
Among
Windows users, XP is still popular despite most laptops being sold with Vista
for the last few years:
· Windows 2000 0.07%
· XP 47 %
· Vista 50%
· Windows 7 Beta 3%
