Tiny 1% Linux = Big Microsoft Terror

| I don't believe that the desktop Linux market share is barely 1%. I think it
| is a lot higher. I have no good data to share; I base my assessment on
| experience and knowing the industry. There is something else that is even
| more persuasive, and that is how Microsoft behaves. If Linux is so
| insignificant, why do they pay so much attention to it? Like this new
| ASUS/Windows Eee PC "It's Better With Windows" ad campaign...
|
| [...]
|
| It's a direct shot at Linux, so I guess that little bitty one percent is a
| bigger one percent than it's given credit for. Some have questioned if these
| ads are legitimate, and claim they are satire or a hoax. ASUS links to them,
| so they're for real.

| "The numbers from NetApplications are clearly unrepresentative of reality,"
| blogger Robert Pogson told LinuxInsider. "Around 2003/4, IDC determined by
| survey that GNU/Linux was ahead of Mac OS at about 3 percent. Since then
| GNU/Linux has had growth numbers from 20 to 50 percent in various places.
|
| "That would put GNU/Linux at 7 to 9 percent," he asserted.
