The title was not meant as a physical death threat towards anyone.
Rather a wording used to describe how people who have divorced Windows feel.

Windows is the most used operating system on planet earth.

Linux being used by 14% of people? Macs only being used by 2%? What is this?

Viva Los Linux!
If everyone keeps promoting Linux everywhere they go it will only be a matter of time to when balance is secured.
Microsoft Windows should not be the most used OS in the world.
They still charge innocent users over $100+ usd for their XP edition, which had it's debut back in 2001.
Now their new line of Vista editions is giving users nothing but troubles as it is a resource hog among other issues.
Viva Los Linux!
Support Ubuntu!

This thread is... pointless and retarded.

And it's flamebait. Nothing but flamebait.

It should be closed. Now. Please.

There is no death threat.
It's a title to describe how many users feel about Windows being on top.
So far Mikewhatever, your the only one who is shouting here.

I'm no troll buddy.
I only wanted to see how many users are smart enough to agree about the injustice that is nothing more then a fact.

Grams79, I really suggest that you read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865750

The Internet (and World) is full of people who hate people who endlessly preach about Linux. And I'm actually one of them. No harm in mentioning it to people who are interested, but constantly badgering people to switch because you believe it's better is not what Linux is about: freedom. And it just doesn't work.

The International Open Source Network (http://www.iosn.net/), where the OP's graph (supposedly) comes from, looks like it only deals with Aisa/Pacific regions. If the graph is accurate for the Asia/Pacific region, that is good. However, it gives a skewed perspective if meant to show worldwide OS use.
