Desktop Operating System Market Share

OSX accounts for ~5%, Linux for ~1.75%. There is an "Other" category with 5%. Windows 7 accounts for the largest chunk at 56%. This is just one sampling.

Also note I said "over 75%." I'm not obfuscating, I was just too lazy to do the math, but it's easily over 75%.

I thought MS was up around 90% in the US...

Well, to be pedantic, that is over 75%.....

LOL!
