My guess is that Google Zeitgeist measured linux usage by sales of boxed linux sets from the "major players" and compared that with sales of Mac systems.

In General, the Google Zeitgeist keeps track of what people search for on Google.
In this case, it is showing data based on the browsers that are hitting Google, so it has nothing to do with sales figures.

see here:

and note it says "Operating Systems Used to Access Google".
