Where's GNU/Linux Usage Headed?

Though projections have no real bearing on what actually turns out to be the numbers, they are fun :). The final projections from the two plots would seem to be a bit different to the naked eye. So, is GNU/Linx usage asymptotically headed towards, say 'all users' (first plot), or 'half a billion users' (second plot)?"

    My prediction: GNU/Linux users will drop to zero after everyone gets tired of Stallman's relentless whining about the name, and then no one uses the "GNU" part any more. The result is that no one uses "GNU/Linux", and everyone uses "Linux".
