These market shares estimates are all biased somehow. This one says Linux has 4%

if linux ever becomes mainstream how will I ever get the nerdy feeling of using a non-mainstream kernel? I can't stomach the thought that I'd ever have to use hurd:(

Of course more web developers are likely to run Linux than the general population. I guarantee you that the figure for desktops is closer to 1% than 4%.

That's a bit off, as Windows is now at 87%, Mac OS X at 9.5%, and Linux at .6%...

Even if it was 4% the demotivational would still apply.

Linux has a 50% market share in my home! 75% if you count the DVR and the TV!
