Linux Outpacing Macintosh On Desktops

Posted by timothy on Monday September 9, 2002 @03:07PM from the lies-darn-lies-and-asterics dept.

An anonymous reader points out this article in the International Herald Tribune about corporate acceptance of computers running GNU/Linux, which includes this snippet: "Linux is already outpacing Macintosh on desktops: "Dan Kusnetzky, an analyst for International Data Corp., said Linux had a 3.9 percent share of desktops worldwide, outpacing Macintosh's 3.1 percent." The article does not specify from where Kuznetsky draws either figure, but can it be true that Linux systems currently outnumber Macintoshes?

That is possibly mostly Linux users because they are more likely to turn off the OS identification tags because they know about it and because they can.
