Maybe it's more than that. 4 billion embedded devices were sold 2006 based on a
recent study. More and more devices give up on a generic O/S and move to
something more standard and versatile like Linux. That's according to that
study as well.
Remember: Linux is /NOT/ just a desktop O/S. It's a f* kernel, and it's
extremely popular. It's probably used far more than Windows, overall.
