What makes you think 1% is too low (assuming we don't count android)? Remember that 1% is still a shit load of people. And of course if you are at all involved

What makes you think 1% is too low (assuming we don't count android)?
Remember that 1% is still a shit load of people.
And of course if you are at all involved in tech you probably don't have a really representative sample.

- jiggy2011 14y agoFrom that it looks like a variety of models have all reached conclusions of 1-2%. I can't think of a strong reason to suggest that it would be higher. The argument is made on that page is that it is strong in places like China, though my understanding is that is not correct. Plenty of PCs in china may sell with Linux (or freeDOS) but my understanding is that they are always ubiquitously flattened and replaced with pirate Windows.
