Linux Yes boys and girls, it's Net Applications time. Sure, their figures are flawed, and sure, they're misused all over the non-scientifically educated media, but that doesn't mean they do not indicate trends. One of those trends was a slowly rising popularity of Linux, which hit 0.93% market share in August 2008, only to sink back again during the following months. Well, it's April May 2009 now, and Linux has finally crossed the 1% market share line!

I think Linux is a good platform but the occasional problems we have to deal with on a regular basis, such as updates/upgrades breaking wifi, video drivers, sound, and software packages then waiting for additional updates to fix them is pretty irritating.

These sorts of problems can not occur in the frequency that they do now if Linux were to hold a dominate position in the market.
