As Benjamin Disraeli said, there are "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"

I think, IMHO, etc. that these numbers are dated. OS-X is making huge
advances in market share. And of course, one has to ask what "market"
you are measuring. Linux is huge in embedded systems, for example every
Tivo, every Linksys WRT54G router, etc.

Its simple, the "computer as toaster" folks will never knowingly install
Linux. They will never choose Linux.

There is an active group on these forums to help folks with Unix and Linux.
