| schestowitz | > It's quite believable, given that every "Linux market share" statistic | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > is based on browser stats cherry-picked from unpublished sources, which | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > may well be largely Windows-centric sites, for all we know, thus biasing | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > and invalidating the outcome. Until the likes of Hitslink et al actually | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > reveal their mysterious sources and methodology, their "stats" are | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > basically worthless. | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | And funded by Apple and Microsoft (the clients). | Nov 24 11:28 |
| schestowitz | > Then there's the fact that a large number of GNU/Linux deployments are | Nov 24 11:29 |

| schestowitz | > And that's just x86 systems. Unlike Windows, Linux is Linux, no matter | Nov 24 11:29 |

| schestowitz | > non-x86 Linux systems from the "desktop", for statistical purposes, | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > further dilutes Linux's true market share, and biases the outcome in | Nov 24 11:29 |

| schestowitz | > Then we have the way certain companies, including Microsoft, calculate | Nov 24 11:29 |

| schestowitz | > conclude, rather simplistically, that Windows is more widely used than | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > it really is. Kinda like people assuming the iPhone is more ubiquitous | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > than Android, because Apple has a 52% "market" (i.e. revenue) share, but | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > this belies the fact iPhones are only owned by 4% of the market. | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > Of course, companies care about such things, but consumers don't, or at | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > least they shouldn't, logically, since its of no benefit to them - quite | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > the opposite in fact, since higher prices means they're getting less | Nov 24 11:29 |

| schestowitz | > | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > But the most compelling evidence that GNU/Linux has more than the | Nov 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz | > mythical "1%" market share comes from Microsoft itself. Ballmer quite | Nov 24 11:29 |
