{QUOTE-> One-third, however, were unrecognized even though Net Applications' sensors can detect all major operating systems including most flavors of Unix and Linux.

its gotta be unix based.

just because no one has hidden the OS type of a server before doesnt mean its not easy to do.
maybe they just changed the string to GWS just to prentend they have a better platform than anyone else?
