Yawn. Fact is Windows is losing share to all of them and has been for
some time now. Linux holds more share than "other".
It doesn't include Linux so how is it better?

Linux users are aware of such facts, and are probably artificially
driving up the numbers.
Look at the poll on that site about browsers.
Almost 90% prefer a non-IE browser.
That's a very skewed result.
You gotta wonder just how "real" the numbers are.
I have never in my life met anyone besides myself who has even tried linux.
Yet the stats say almost 1 in a 100 do.
They must live in communes.
As newer more portable devices get cheaper the trend may go towards less
complex operating systems.
For one thing the requirement to bring Windows up to date by downloading
gigabytes of updates is not so attractive on mobile connections. Seems
to me that if the OS were smaller / simpler there's be less to update,
and it follows, less to go wrong.
By it's nature some Linux Like OS is easier to cut down, since MS went
down the path of integrating everything with everything else as far as
their major OS goes they may fall behind others in getting something
smaller developed. In fact the key with Linux is that you start with a
minimal system and add only what you need. You think maybe this is
something MS might be a little concerned about?

"loosing". Not tight enough or what? Doesn't Windows Fail have a real
time spell check?
Used to be a time when cars had less than 1% of the transportation
market and most people thought that horses would never be replaced by
the "horseless carriage". I guess you get drunk and *loose* and ride a
Windows horse. Be careful or it will buck you off into a Blue Screen of
Death.

They hate that.
Not me. I don't hate anything except hatred. It is a bit disconcerting
that so many Windows boxes end up in net bots.
Notice in one month linux share went from 0.91 to 0.71.
Who cares?
Shows linux gets installed/uninstalled on a whim.
No it shows most people don't know about Linux and, if they've heard
about it, they believe the MS FUD. That is changing, much to the Windows
fanboi's chagrin.
