Yet this article: http://www.iht.com/articles/70026.html states otherwise. It was just posted on Slashdot, stating that Linux has 3.9% desktop market share, while Mac has 3.1%. So how could MS Windows have 97%? Are my high school algebra skills that rusty? Where do these statistics come from anyway?
