I don't keep up on things like this, but found those stats interesting.   Not sure what I thought they'd be, but.   Now thinking about it, I 
can understand that MS is 80%.  Surprised about the 1.2% which is where linux falls into, but that's only considering desktops of course.

Wonder how they get stats like that.   I didn't read the article, and it's not necessary to know.
