Personally I prefer the term "populous" - ie a greater proportion of the "population" (the [statistical] "population" [in this case] being the computers).
Using Microsoft speak, boys are the more POPULAR babies as more boys are born than girls! Do parents REALLY have that much choice in the sex of their child? However, by the age of 10, girls are the more POPULAR children [as there are more of them] - have parents decided that boys don't make good children and [gender] swapped them for girls? [The real reason has to do with infant mortality.]
[OPCS data for population figures for England and Wales was the source of the proportions of boys/girls I used above.]
