This is curious. Won what?

I mean, I've been a regular in these advocacy groups for almost two 
decades now and Mac advocates, or Mac users don't go around claiming 
that Mac OS X is "winning" something. Which makes me wonder just what 
Linux is winning? Is it all about Android? Linux is "winning" web 
servers and smart phones but losing everything else? And if Linux is 
"winning" smart phones, isn't BSD winning it as much? At least when 
it comes to revenue, right?
