Linux desktop today is free to obtain, no purchase necessary or even possible. So if the market share number was only for purchased Linux desktop, then the number would be zero instead of a number closely resembling zero for all practical purposes. >>> Dunce. >>> >>>>...sure, it was all Linux.

You're asking Peter the miserable, tap-dancing Klöwn for evidence? Don't you know that everything he says is absolute truth and doesn't require any kind of support whatsoever? If Peter says that desktop Linux requires payment then it requires payment. -- A.M Your pet's opinion on technology is more valid than that of a Linux advocate

Doesn't really matter since you have to buy a subscription to use it. But let's just say I agree, then RedHat Enterprise would have to single handedly support that market share on the desktop if one is to believe the hogwash the linux loonies are trying to pass off these days. -- Lloyd
