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.

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.

Cheers.

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.

Free and OpenSource.

Just think. Pretty close to ZERO and the product is FREE! Nobody wants it.

 

Yea baby!

Re: Ubuntu ain't worth a CR@P !!!

 

You have to have a product like Linux and Ubuntu around. I always tell my

users that if they are not happy with Vista we can install the alternative

and I ALWAYS quickly get a response...oh no that's ok!. If I didn't have

it, I'd have nothing to threaten them with.

For the "local High School". Now isn't that a good sampling! So you're based

in Salt Lake, Utah. Is that the place where extended families have a whole

other meaning? Kinda inbred dimwits, so to speak?
