While I was trawling through Net Applications' operating system share trend data for the past 24 months, something struck me. June 08 marked a big month for Linux. The OS saw the largest increase in market share for the whole 2 year period - a growth of 0.12%.

Forrester estimates 1 billion (1000 million) PC's in this planet by the end of this year. And 1% would be 10 million PC's and more than 10 million users around the world. That is the population of just one of the biggest cities in the world (Mumbai, Delhi, Seoul, Mexico City, etc) - reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population. Not much really but not zero either.
And notice... Linux has slightly increased desktop market share in the overall growing market - which means it has higher growth rate than some other OS'es.
