He was talking specifically about those that run web applications, like at Google, Yahoo!, Digg, etc. I sell into a lot of enterprises and though more than half of our installs are on Linux, I can see into other areas of the enterprise and Linux is nowhere near half of installs. This isn't cause for alarm: it means we've got a lot of market to clean up. One nit, Roy: Ballmer did *not* say that 60% of *all* servers are Linux.
