I was just wondering if the figure took into fact how many people don't use Linux everyday, because of the lack of popular software titles. How many more people would be using Linux/Unix or Mac for that matter if more games and popular production software was dual ported? (rhetorical question)

I agree.

It's a classic chicken/egg situation.

Linux needs more software titles in order to gain marketshare.
Linux needs more marketshare in order for software makers to see a reason for them to port their softwares.
