Linux 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.

How many TOMTOM satnavs were sold in the last five years... ??

Not sure why that has not been turned into the best hackable device known to NIX ;)

Then again I bet there are many more Linux VMs then any other platform... I must have a hundred or so...
I am sure there are not many people with a 100 Mac VMs, just think of the cost..

osX doesn't run so well without the hardware it's designed to be the embedded OS for. I'd love to get an osX VM running but that means legally quiestionable work arounds or a development in VMware that hasn't happened yet.

Actually, I'm unsure, can parallels split osX into mulitple VM segments on the same brick of hardware?
