do you realise i develop for these platforms amongst others? i don't just pull my opinion out of my arse, at least not entirely... :) your source of figures is very dodgy. you need to account for the devices that aren't brand new, and especially third world and the millions and millions of cheap androids and desktop pcs. looking at america or limiting to new purchases is very special and has nothing to do with the wider market (its not uncommon for people to have a "who buys these things new? what a bunch of idiots" mentality in poorer parts of the world). Apple do much better in the US than anywhere else, and new purchases are not the majority of devices in use in the wild. try a google search like this: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=desktop%20market%20share https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1... and pick from many many sources of more useful figures as you can see from very many sources, aside from OS X - which is not really a linux, gnu/linux may as well not exist.
