NetMarketShare statistics show a slight DECREASE in desktop Linux
visitors to their sites over the past couple of months! That 5% is also
rather too high...probably a tad over 1%.
Here's an excerpt from a recent ZDNet post by Jack Schofield...
"Since October 2011, Windows' total market share has declined by .09 percentage points from 91.86 percent to 91.77 percent, while Mac OS X has grown by 0.19 percentage points from 6.94 percent to 7.13 percent. In a three-horse race, Linux has declined slightly from 1.19 percent to 1.10 percent. This may represent some open source supporters buying proprietary Macs, as described by Gnome co-founder Miguael de Icaza in a recent blog post, What Killed the Linux Desktop."
