>Sorry mmarq, that 1% isn't mantra, it's just math. You've fallen into the "I wish it weren't this way" trap. I used to be right there with you. If you actually click through the link I referenced, that wasn't a paid software statistic.
No, is a mantra, bare with me lol...There is the small lies, there is the big lies, then there is the statistics...
Sponsor me good(don't have to pay directly), and i can arrange you a statistics in any line you like.
How many Linux systems are behind good NAT firewalls ? .. how many Joes do double boot ?... how many downloads serve to install in a plurality of machines ?
No Linux is very far from the top preference on the traditional Desktop systems... i can easily agree ~10%, and this without a clear view into many countries where Linux is much more popular, like Brazil and China. Perhaps ~1% ( even so i doubt) is in the USA, but the USA stopped from being the reference for many innovations now...
Now if you count the client side including systems from smartphones to tablet (where Android is the top reference)... up to the desktop... then those 10% might get a several times (x) boost...
In any case what is the importance of being a leader or not ?
Those numbers mean nothing related to quality and usefulness... and Linux has "terrible VERY powerful enemies", ppl just can't forget that, there will always be a very steep up-hill battle.
