Why is it then, excluding Phones, are the majority of consumer computers sold in shops either Windows or Apples ?? Its VERY rare to find a real computer (laptop or desktop) come pre loaded with Any form of Linux ? Servers in business, sure wont disagree there, even here out of the 5 Server/storage devices three are Linux based ( Note: Linux based NOT an actual Linux desktop/Server OS). As for the stats people post -- Its laughable. One person can post one, someone else using a different site post the opposite, here's a n example. Windows 88.3% Linux 2.21 www.netmarketshare.com (www.netmarketshare.com 22%3A%5B%7B%22deviceType%22%3A%7B%22%24in%22%3A%5B %22Desktop%2Flaptop%22%5D%7D%7D%5D%7D%2C%22dateLab el%22%3A%22Custom%22%2C%22attributes%22%3A%22share %22%2C%22group%22%3A%22platform%22%2C%22sort%22%3A %7B%22share%22%3A-1%7D%2C%22id%22%3A%22platformsDesktop%22%2C%22date Interval%22%3A%22Monthly%22%2C%22dateStart%22%3A%2 22017-11%22%2C%22dateEnd%22%3A%222017-11%22%2C%22segments%22%3A%22-1000%22%7D) Change a parameter, and it will give different results. ;) |

| 1443616 | 2017-12-28 21:08:00 | Well you know, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." Anyone could cherry-pick a section of the IT world's stats, excluding parts that don't support their agenda and thereby prove what they wish. If however you include all sections, as I did, then the Linux kernel is driving a greater proportion than any other does. OK? :) |

| 1443617 | 2017-12-28 21:35:00 | Maybe you would be good enough to link us to where you obtained this figure of 2% and how it was arrived at Digby? I found this interesting as it seems if you break Windows down into versions you get a whole different picture. Unfortunately Win 10 isn’t on the board yet. 8596 And you must remember the argument isn't about all of Windows, it is specific to Win 10 ;) I made an intelligent guess. Your chart must be really out of date if it does not include Windows 10 which has been out now for nearly 2 years! |

| 1443618 | 2017-12-28 21:38:00 | Surely we should be talking about home and business desktop users. I have two desktops, both with W10. But I have a website that is hosted on a Linux server (as are most of them) So does that make me a Linux user? And the OP was about W10 being a piece of ****. So I am still waiting for evidence that it is a piece of **** (for most people) not one or two that cannot get it going. |

Sad:( Well KD like a LOT of people they don't actually answer the Question ( nothing to do with stats - its a fact) ,they either dance around a question or go off on a tangent. As a guy who I used to work for years ago sometime said--- That's not what I asked. So I'll ask again. "Why is it then, excluding Phones, are the majority of consumer computers sold in shops either Windows or Apples ??" |

| 1443622 | 2017-12-28 23:25:00 | Desktop OS is only a fraction of I.T. and you know it, but yes, let's get back to the point of the thread Windows 10 and its amazing un-usability. Yes, so lets forget the world of IT (which is just for career specialists) and talk about everyday OS's |
