According to the July OS Share statistics at Net Applications, the new Intel Macs, which have been available for only a few months, have already passed the entire installed base of Linux.

When the PowerPC Macs are added to the Intel Macs, the installed base of Macs is many times greater than Desktop Linux.

Thanks. As I said, your netstats page is useless for anything else other than the american market.

3.8% + .5% is 4.3%, which is *very* close to Gartner's predictions of the US market. The co-relation between the numbers is too close to be ignored.

I stand by what I said at post.... 4?(mebbe post 5)

Apple has around 2% worldwide. Linux is above that, at around 2.5.

It'll be nice when Google does it's next Zeitgeist. Your source is unreliable for worldwide numbers. I've not really doubted that Apple has more of the american market. It'd be nice if you stopped with that bait-and-switch.

Remember, according to Apple themselves, they've got around 25 mil users. There's more linux users than that. Though in america, there'd probably only be 5 or so mil. If it's even that.
