Come back when......

you have real data. Your mention of O/S 2 Warp users, for instance, doesn't even register on a scale measured in hundreds of millions.


Same with DOS and the linux links are cute, but small potatoes.


If you read the article, you will see where the over 1 billion number is coming from. Microsoft is on par or ahead of linux in developing countries. Any new growth going to Linux is more than countered by new Microsoft growth.
Sorry Charilie, it stays in the 90 to 100% range for the foreseeable future.


Speaking of irking someone to no end.


It also speaks of standards. In a world where democracitic nations hold the lions share of the market, a Liberatarian or any of the many linux liberals would have to agree that 90+% constitutes a standard. In fact, if you use OSI standards in many cases, you are in a very small minority making them worthless and unheard by the majority. Just another talking point by the Linux Left.
