And once again, a "worldwide market survey" totally ignores and thus fails to include the fact that

Essentially the entire Internet and most corporate engineering/R&D runs on Linux Servers

and if they were so bold as to include a category of "Servers", things would look very different.

IMO, not including servers is like taking a "Worldwide" market survey Automobiles and only including, say, those manufactured in America.

Don't mind me, I'm cranky. My basement sump pump clogged last night and flooded the basement. Put me in a bad mood to start the day....

Sorry about your sump pump! That is a terrible thing to have happen and it always happens at night!
