The traditional market share numbers would say that Linux is currently at less than 1%, but some more recent numbers suggest that it might, in fact, be almost even with the Mac. This all brings the question of how many Linux users are there really? Unfortunately, we may never know. Certainly, there is no way of knowing currently, but it should be possible to at least get a rough estimate.

Yeah, there are embedded Linux everywhere, not just stuff like the popcorn hour or Nokia N810. Yesterday I discovered that a fishscanner* I installed at work was running Linux. But I'm not sure I'd count that as an install.
Now that I think about it, it did not come with any notice of GPL...
*An ir-scanner counts and measures fish that swim through the unit. It is used to count fish for example upstream a fishladder.
