"linux desktop have about 3% of the market like apple..."

Both Apple and Linux have more than 3% of the market. Their "market share" may be 3%... but that doesn't mean that they occupy only 3% of the market. You're referring to install base. The numbers for install-base and market share are different because they don't account for increased longevity of a computer. Both Macs and Linux computers remain in use much longer than the average Windows PC. Market share is a figure that is gauged solely by quarterly sales... not the actual number of computers in use. As a result, this tends to inflate Windows "market share" numbers over that of Mac and Linux while at the same time also deflating Mac and Linux numbers. Mac and Linux represent approximately 6-7% (Install base) each.

wrong, kde-desktop CAN be similar to windows desktop, and it CAN be similar to mac os X, and it CAN be completely customized at your will, it's not because something can be similar to, that it is similar, it's much more than just similar.
