    Andrew Morton can't be nominated - he's a Google employee. He'd be perfect choice if he were eligible.

    The Asus eeePC is a runaway smash hit and all the first versions shipped with linux. Which means they weren't vista. That's more than 0%. Granted, they are dragging out some sort of XP training bra version to fit it in for some people, but the first foray was pure linux. (for this observation I will take a minilaptop as part of joe consumers personal home computers, which is what I think you meant, that market)
