Linux is still at around 1% market share.

It is true that mostly enthusiasts (like me and the other guy) tend to use Linux on the desktop, but everyone and his dog use it in embedded systems and server side.

In May 2014, W3Techs estimated that 67.5% of the top 10 million (according to Alexa) websites run some form of Unix, and Linux is used by at least 57.2% of all those websites which use Unix.

Server side and embedded systems?

While true, that's still a very low number when compared to Windows on desktops and laptops and tablets and smartphones and Windows embedded and Windows on servers and Windows in businesses.

I'm surprised that the Linux enthusiasts didn't bring out their 'Android is Linux' claim. YOu people are slipping.
