> most of the computers in the world are running Windows
I'm surprised nobody else seems to have commented on this so far. I thought most computers were running Linux these days, with Android pushing Linux over the top?
Not that I've cared enough to actually track it myself, but that's the impression from what I've read. But even if it's a plurality not a majority, I believe it has been awhile since the MS slogan of "A computer on every desktop" has been supplanted by (roughly speaking) "A computing device in every pocket", and most of those, as well as most of the servers serving them, as well as a good portion of the routers routing between the two, run Linux. MS may still rule the desktop, but the desktop's only a small portion of the computing world these days, and getting smaller literally by the minute.
Of course the claim wouldn't be our editor's fault, rather the fault of the guy doing the presentation (and thus making the claim) being covered. Tho it's still disruptive enough a claim as to merit an editorial parenthetical or footnote disclaimer, I'd think. It certainly was here.
