You've missed a very big portion there. In the developing world, Debian
(whether customised/localied or not) is hugely popular. In Brazil, for
instance, I hear that about 8% run a flavour of GNU/Linux, but usually a
distro you never heard of. In fact, based on millions of hits in a site, 1/3
are unspecified GNU/Linux distribtuion, probably with some obscure name like
Molinux.
The 3% figure is conservative, but Gartner, which is funded by Microsoft, puts
it at 4%.
