On: Desktop Linux Is Dead

My stance: I only installed Lucid Lynx on my laptop because I'm sick of calling Microsoft and having to reactivate my legal copy of Win 7. I love Win 7, and would prefer to run it, but after spending Time on hold with Microsoft (going so far as to speak Swedish Chef to confuse their voice recognition software), I installed linux. Been working well so far. My question: If ALL the corporate desktops were taken out of the picture, I wonder what the percentage of Linux to Microsoft or Apple would be. In other words, when given the -choice-, what do people run?

*I await the shower of invective*

Please, by all means, do your own research. Bring up taskmamager or top (well, can't really compare IE there)...

I use IE at work and Opera at home. Microsoft dosen't hold the monopoly on "New isn't necessarilly better."
