Wol said: It's difficult to tell (of course) but anecdotal evidence says that linux has overtaken Mac on the desktop. Bear in mind that linux browsers often identify themselves as IE in order to fool stupid sites in to working :-(
-->either way (Mac or linux) it is unix. There are variations in all flavors of Unix, but they are about as much as the differences between various versions of windows (from an end-user perspective). I use XP today and was the only person at a recent small Sun conference (< 200 people) not using either a Mac or Linux. The Sun employees were all carrying Macs and one person who I never would have expected to care about his client-OS told me that he was really surprised to find out how much he liked his Mac. At this point, I suspect that if we are addressing a rich variety of users, we need software that can handle Windows or Unix on clients, http/middle tier servers, and database servers (ignoring Palm OS, for example). It almost makes you want to write software to some sort of virtual machine that runs on all such platforms ... hey, there's a thought!
