Linux seems to be losing no matter where you look.
The ODF vs OOXML debates.
Market Share.

So if you want to be on the losing team, go with Linux.
At least you can say Linux is consistent.

After 10+ years it still is hovering around 0.6 percent of desktop market
share.

Um, Linux cannot be sold so it therefore has ZERO market share.

Translation: not enough users so it's market share cannot be determined.

Again Francis, you've missed the point entirely. Market share cannot be
determined because it's FREE and can be installed on as many computers as
one wants. There is no way to count how many machines Linux is installed
on. I have 6 machines here running Linux. Since they don't need to
be "activated", how can they possibly be counted? Please tell me how you
think they can be counted.

Cheers.

Ahem, a market is where things are bought and sold. Linux does neither
and therefore is not part of a market and it cannot possible have a
market share? Too complicated for you, troll?

Yeah, even the Linux Counter is regressing: http://counter.li.org/
(141K users, how silly is that?)
 
Ok.. can't count purchases, but what about real world usage.

Webstats off my web page for March 08

Operating System Pageviews %
1.Windows 19,265 90.42%
2.Apple Macintosh 1,868 8.77%
3.Linux 990 .46%
4.Other 700 .33%
5.Mobile Wap 30 .01%

peruse definition #8 for market at dictionary.com

#9 may also be applicable unless you are stating that nobody would be
interested if they actually had to pay.

Or Linux @ 3.8 % from this source:

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp

With Vista @ 7.6%, not 14%

Of course, you will say these stats mean nothing, because they don't say
what you want them to say.

That means nothing! Who comes to your web page and for what reason? I'm sure
that if one went and looked at the stats from the Ubuntu forums, Linux
would be around 99%. Because those using Linux would tend to access that
web site. If your web site is all about Windoze, then what do you think the
stats would look like?

Let's go to say a more neutral place, like w3schools and look at their
stats ...

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp

Interesting, aren't they? They certainly don't come close to anything you
report for your small piece of the web.

Funny how when linux's share was going up you and alias thought it could be
measured, but not when its going down.

Biased as hell.. how many windows users have even heard of w3schools?
Not many I bet. Far more linux users are likely to have.

Where are the figures for some really neutral but popular site like the bbc
or google or nasa?
They are likely to be more accurate.

Not at all interesting, except that such a biased site also has linux use on
a pathetic low.

hey, I just offered them as a random sample. My website is a booster club
site full of pictures and videos for the local High School. It has nothing
to do with Computers, Operating Systems or Browsers. The site is written in
plain HTML and all the video is flash, No WMP or Quicktime requirements.
Were based in Salt Lake, Utah, USA (not Redmond, WA) in fact were 20 miles
from Novell's headquarters so we should be more Linux biased than anything
else.
