By most criteria that people would employ, they truly aren't. Just because we know how great they can be doesn't mean there's an awful lot of them out there, compared to others. From our perspective the fact that there _has_ to be so many of them in the first place is part of the problem, but that doesn't change the facts. And besides, I would hate having to lug around a z9 BC when I go to conferences. My laptop running SLED10 is quite heavy enough. Which means that the skew in absolute numbers won't ever go away, regardless of the OSes involved.
