Read the whole posting Peter.  There was a claim that the market share 
number was only for purchased Linux desktop and that doesn't actually 
exist in any meaningful way these days.

I remember them, and Caldera and others along the way.  All long gone.

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.

I don't.  But I've actually never seen a post from him that wasn't from 
Windows, regardless of time or day.
