Yes, Chromebooks and Macs are seeing upticks in sales, but the numbers are still extremely strong in the Windows installs. Say linux is at most 2% these days on the desktop. Chromebooks are somewhere around 1%. To total those two and you still only have about 3% running linux on the desktop. What most likely will happen going forward is that Chromebooks will have a bigger share than linux on the desktop, and possibly by quite a bit as education is sucking them up by the droves! > http://www.zdnet.com/article/npd-chromebooks-outsell-windows-laptops/ > > Many people have resisted the idea that Chromebooks really were > growing in popularity.
