Windows 7 hitting almost 4% and Linux stuck at 1%. Whoopee!!!! Counting the sales to OEM's doesn't count. And how exactly does NetApplications know how much Linux is really used out there??? There is not f**ken way of knowing, because there are no sales figures for Linux because it's FREE!

And punctuation died a little inside.

But anyway. NA does not use sales figures. They track a gazillion sites - from all walks of life - and have like millions and millions of hits from all over the world to deal with. It is about as accurate as these things can get.
