According to a Novel-sponsored IDC survey, Linux seems to be gaining popularity among businesses implementing servers, and it has a bright outlook for both server and desktop installations in the coming future. On the other hand, netbooks have seen less and less default OEM installations of Linux. Windows now has over 90 percent of netbook sales, quashing any hopes of an open source revolution in the form of netbooks. Android, however, may be able to change things.

Android is as least as much BSD as Linux. Sure there is more hype for Linux, but technology-wise there is much code of BSD in it. So it would be wise to call it Linux/BSD, libc and many userland-tools are from OpenBSD/NetBSD.
