But, its just lame, to think that linux users have focused their attention on the few Linux distributions that you can actually buy pre-installed. I have never bought a system with Linux preinstalled in almost 10 years of working with Linux. This is like counting the number of bicycles with training wheels and saying that is the number of all bicycles in the world. Its getting more realistic today than anytime before to buy Linux preinstalled. So, going forward, the Linux server numbers actually sold will probably continue to swell.
But as far as I am concerned.. I just about don't care, because I because I enjoy working OS X more than either of them. At least for now..
You know this sales numbers thing is just such an irrational thing to get all moved about. People buy Windows every day, and this is pure insanity, they suffer and suffer because they don't know better. I am sorry that they do, but its not my mission to change that. Folks who tell them this is the best it gets (Windows that is) make it hard for me to excuse them. Because it just isn't the best it gets. So every person who believes you just gets to suffer for their foolishness. And I am sorry that you have to continue suffering, but thats the way of things. No OS is perfect, thats an irrational hope. But, I am so happy not to be fending off spyware and viruses and just so many other things that make the Windows experience horrid for so many folks. You are welcome to all of that. I make my living off of helping people like you deal with this choice, so I shouldn't complain. But, ethics keeps me from rooting you on.
