From said article:
Steve Ballmer of Microsoft estimates Linux's share of desktop users to be higher than the web stats suggest. In a speech to investors in February 2009, Ballmer presented a slide based on Microsoft's research: it shows Linux's share of business and home PCs about the same as Apple's (Which is approximately 6%).
I would further point out that Microsoft is dropping support for XP which accounts for more than 50% of the os usage and that leaves Microsoft with active/supported usage of 35.51%.....this is moving backwards you have to admit. You can't count those XP users as current Microsoft supporters as Microsoft is leaving them behind and even writing software that is NOT compatible with this OS (Thinking IE-9 in case you are wondering).
I don't want you to think I am an anti Microsoft troll so I will point out that this post is using Win7 Ult. on my main desktop and that I also run Win7 pro, Win7 HP, XP pro and XP home. I am still playing (however seriously) with Ubuntu Linux as shown in my previous post. One can never allow oneself to become to complacent or cease to learn...this is the path to senility.
