Actually, that second link doesn't work.

The link was corrected in #10 about 30 seconds later. Here it is again - http://www.doctor-html.com/agent_stats/.

http://www.idc.com/
http://www.gartner.com

Quit jerking off, halfman. The word "Linux" isn't even mentioned on those pages. If you have links to some actual statistics to make your point, post 'em.

Why does my mentioning of linux being OS #2 bother you so much?

Because it's untrue.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The link was corrected in #10 about 30 seconds later. Here it is again - http://www.doctor-html.com/agent_stats/. ^^^^^^^^^^^

I see. Yet another link that states percentages that simply can't exist due to Apple's own numbers.

How is that possible?

Duh. Those are the respective companies's homepages. Their reports on linux beating out the Mac as #2 were out over a year ago. I didn't post their homepages as backup of my argument, I posted them so you'd know where to send your hatemail.

They're not hard to find on google. You should try it.

As I've said before, I'm more inclined to believe gartner's numbers. I've also stated how while one says 2003, they both agree on 2005. Linux has surpassed the Mac as #2.
