45.2% of UNIX web servers are of an "unknown" variant? How can you detect "UNIX" but not be able to have any idea of what UNIX it is? I'm going to hazard a guess that you'd be able to get numbers of similar accuracy by inspecting /dev/random.
Edit: poking around the site a bit more, I notice that they count Darwin under UNIX but OS X is a separate top-level category alongside Windows and UNIX (albeit one with less than 0.1% share). WTF are they doing? This makes no sense.

Technically you could run a non-OS X Darwin. Maybe that's the explanation?
Could be, but it still doesn't make sense. It's the same underlying stuff, so either they're both UNIX (what I'd vote for) or neither is.
I never said it made sense ;-)
