I think the actual Linux market share is higher. I know a lot of enterprises that have switched to Linux (for reason completely unrelated to the os itself).

  which should be reflected in these numbers, no?

    Look at their sampling methods. They use analytics from certain sites (news, social media, gov, ...) A lot of enterprises are beyond proxies and many places don't allow you to access internet outside a few select sites

      A proxy won't mingle with the User-Agent header, or with the tracking JS that runs in the browser.

        I guess there are different types of proxies. The ones we use definitely strip and modify headers.

So they switched to Linux because well, not because it's Linux. Funny :-) You probably meant : they switched to Linux for none of the reasons HN's readers like Linux (open, free, people-like-us, etc)
