Linux Reaches 32% Netbook Market Share
christian.einfeldt writes "Linux netbooks have captured 32% of the global netbook market, says Jeff Orr, an analyst with consumer computer research firm ABI Research. The largest share of netbook sales is in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, according to Orr. ABI's latest figures align with a statement by Dell executives in February of this year, to the effect that Linux netbooks comprised about 33% of Dell shipments of Dell Inspiron mini 9s netbooks. These data points cast doubt on claims by Microsoft that Windows XP has captured 98% of the netbook market (a figure Microsoft later revised to 93%). In an interview with DesktopLinux.com, Orr made clear that the 32% Linux netbook market share did not include either user-installed Linux or dual-boot systems, but was confined to just pre-installed Linux shipments."
Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
Debian, Ubuntu... same difference anyway :)
obligatory, I use Ubuntu daily, and our shop is Debian...

I think the 9% figure you quote is for the US, you jingoistic, narrow-minded American swine.

Windows: Because a Netbook was made for running Cubase!
That giggling sound is the average Windows laughing at you. Although they aren't sure why they're laughing because they don't really know what you're talking about.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
Since you don't seem very technical,
I am fairly technical, but not seeming it sounds like a compliment to me. Since you don't seem to be able to read, I'll repeat that the error occurred during installing, not launching. Thanks for the tip, though.

W8, did you together with GlassHeart above you just just come to conclusion that the existence and practices of MS are as inevitable as laws of physics? ;/

If you don't like to upset anyone, you must have a hell of a time introducing yourself mr. Lands.
