It never whas bigger then GNU/Linux, it just that in the US the number of shipping Apple are easier to track then the GNU/Linux ones.

Mac is currently at 8%, Powerbook, Ibook and Mac mini and IPod + Itune. “especially as most market saturation numbers over the last couple of years showing Mac with a 2% – 5% ”

All the local language that people where avoiding are covered by GNU/Linux.ģ) Its free ( as in both freedom and price ) to get you can start your own localized distribution with having to pay anyone anything as long as you use Free software.Ĥ) More then 300 GNU/Linux distribution worldwide. I am going to stay polite and make you think for a change.ġ) Why is Microsoft so affraid of GNU/LinuxĢ) China, India, Africa, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico etc are all GNU/Linux territory ( read Government backing GNU/Linux ), territory wich Microsoft would not consider until there recent “lite version”. I dont see why last years would serve you as IDC is always innacurate even this year.
One example is Microsoft windows they report as a 90% + Operating system, the highest it ever whent whas in the 1995 – 2000 period and it whas 81%, they have been loosing marketshare ever since to everyone ( Apple, BSD, GNU/Linux, OpenSolaris, Sun Desktop ) etc …. “Can you please provide links to this data”įor me IDC report are crap as they only account for the “sales” of product and they cut the market in category and play with the numbers.

What it means ? Everyone as statistics, Everyone as Marketshare reports, I trust only mine, Marketshare and Statistics are meaningless to the single user who whants its computer to work, they certainly dont care about GNU/Linux if its not availaible or installed on there PC when they come to use it. I take the lowest numbers Microsoft will agree on globally. “I’m sure your numbers are very accurate.” No, some survey actually do the leg work of including data and go look for many source to accomplish a result and will tell a margin of errors, so I will disagree with you that all survey are as pathetic and inconclusive as this one, in its nature survey are not a 100% report as its impossible to poll absolutely everyone.
No, because Linux is only a kernel, probably GNU/Linux, what can I say you missed IP setup step … You did not setup your firewall properly to be protected, etc … “Firefox on my debian box surely reports itself as Linux.” 95% of the problem with GNU/Linux come from amateurs who think they are pro’s who cant setup things properly. “Tell me of one linux distribution that does that by default.”
