You still made a very bold statement, that you indicated was a fact, yet you still don't have squat to back it up.

OK, then let's go through this logically.

What to the root DNS servers run? Hint: It's not Windows.

Cisco routers? Again--it's not Windows.
How about web servers?

While we both know that Apache runs on both Windows and *nixes, we also know that most MS-powered sites are also running IIS, rather than Apache, so that 70% figure is pretty hard to overcome.

How many millions of TiVo units have been sold? I don't actually have that number but each one uses Linux.

So--whether you know it or not, you are making use of Linux every time you connect to the Net, watch your recorded programs, or FReep. Many more use Linux than Windows. Just not on the Desktop.

ROFLMAO, and exactly how do you know this? Answer: you don't, and can't possibly.

FYI, the DNS roots aren't called by every single client that connects to the internet. Nor have you presented any proof that they all run Linux. Not to mention they are only about 12 of them, total, that aren't accessed by every client.

Your comments remain completely flimsy, but typical.
