I assume you mean most people in the USA. Here in Spain, most people
buy computers to order unless it's a laptop and I know many people
who own laptops and the first thing they did was nuke Windows and
install Linux.
If that was the truth, then way does Linux have less then 5% of the
desktops?



Let's see, how did you come up with that figure? Supposedly, there are
about 1 billion computers on line in the world which would mean, according
to your figures, that there a 50 million Linux users. Fact is, however,
that no one knows how many Linux installs there are because Linux doesn't
need to be activated or become "genuine" and there are no store receipts
to count like there is with Windows.

web stats don't need receipts. it counts everybody equally no matter where
or how they got their os.

Web stats are not reliable because they only monitor certain sites, not
the entire web. They only report global usage and never do it by
country. Again, if you were to take the USA out of the picture, Linux
usage would be much higher. Also, for example, if you monitor msn.com
and don't monitor ubuntu.com, you have skewered stats. I would bet that
idealista.com isn't monitored even though it's one of the most popular
sites in Spain.


got any credible stats that show linux having more than 5% market share?

Can't read?


of course you do not.

You have a serious reading comprehension problem.


I suspect if you take the stats of the backwards USA out of the picture,
the user share for Linux would be much higher. After all, only the USA
could have such ignorant, biased bigots running for congress like there
are today. Those same supporters of Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, O'Donnell and
Rand Paul don't know any better than to order a computer from Best Buy
with Windows preloaded.

I never knew that only republicans buy computers with Windows preloaded.





Not what I wrote. The point is that the USA has a large chunk of the
usage world wide and most Americans aren't very hip as is evidenced by
the fact that the above named idiots may very well take over congress.

so do you have something to backup your claim that these stats are being

then do not sign up. but there are companies who are interested in such
numbers and are willing to pay for premium data. you on the other hand are
limited to the aggregate data that they are willing to share for free. but
do not lie and claim that usage by country is not available. this data is
available to anyone interested enough who is willing to pay.

they do not have to be perfect - that is your false dichotomy. the stats

a quick summary of the entire thread

alias - it's impossible to know linux usage because linux is free
me - web stats count usage regardless of price (ask Firefox)
alias - web stats are being manipulated and are lies
me - any proof for your claim.
alias - post some random insults, snip my posts, claim victory and run away.

alias is another snip and run coward.
alias is a linux "advocate"

Using Linux makes you disoriented and you lose your bearings. For
example, this is a Windows 7 Newsgroup but you didn't know it and
started your rant about linux and all that.

You will get brain damage and this will make you suck Alias' small
cock (perhaps this is how you got the name Cockslee) which has
been circumcised by his jewish mum! Can you imagine a situation
where a boy has VERY SMALL PENIS and his mum forces you to cut it
off!!

Incidentally, jews have big noses because the air is free!!!!

it for free. I can compile a slim kernel to use on my P4 system or I can
have a fat kernel for my i7 system. It's my choice. Windows 7 puts an extra
100 mb partition on my drive that I don't want. Why is that? Linux does
what I tell it to do instead of doing what some corrupt company thinks I
want to do. I use my Garmin GPS, Android phone, Sansa mp3 player and my
Sony USB turntable with Linux and have no problems. So why spend $165 on
Windows 7? I've been asking myself the same question. Time to ebay the dung
pile and get back at least some of my money. Linux may not be the most
popular system but in my opinion it's the best, at least for me.

Obviously, or people wouldn't be using Windows. But as the economy
continues to tank that may change. People may not have the ability to buy
a new Windows computer every other year. They might have to make do with
their "old" computer.
