I'd guess the numbers don't reflect reality -- developer reality. They probably reflect economic reality (where numbers are easier to track). There are three companies I know of, just off the top of my head, that use embedded Linux in their products (and have worked at two of them, myself). If you asked their PR department, "Do you use Linux in your products?" you'd probably either get a blank stare or a dismissive "No. Our products work with Windows." i.e. Only Engineering has a clue.

When one measures success, or progress, using body weight as a metric, it can be misleading. When I lift weights to shed fat, I can gain more weight the trimmer I look (the muscle weight vs fat factor).
Come on, mods. If the reply is about an interesting game, it's "informative", not "insightful". If you agree with this, then you would mode me "insightful" or "informative" (i.e. FYI) -- or just plain "off-topic", fine, whatever.

Look. Apache is targeted by all the script kiddies because it's SO popular. I mean, if you were a script kiddie and saw such a huge target as Apache, compared to the IIS install base, which one would YOU go after? You IIS *zealots* are a big turn-off to the rest of the web serving community.
I know! I've compared the number of hours, over the years, as a FT employee vs a Contractor, and let me tell you, the time spent is far, far less as a Contractor than it is as a FT employee when it comes to time, on the job, reading/.
Start with the most basic navigation commands. Learn to use "Ctrl-H, A" and type words in to learn about other commands you may need (e.g. "Ctrl-H, A, page" yields backward-page, forward-page, etc.)
The most useful thing I've ever done for my productivity, when it comes to Emacs, is to add the following line to my ~/.emacs file:
(global-set-key "\C-z" 'call-last-kbd-macro)
So, when I type Ctrl-Z, it doesn't drop me into the shell (very annoying), but instead executes the last macro. Creating a macro is so easy and executing a gazillion iterations of a macro is now that much easier.
I've tried to switch to IDEs, to Kate (very, very nice), Quanta+ and others. But the power of the easy, fast macro keeps me coming back to Emacs, every time.

No, you were paying the price that the market could bare.

So... Sould they keep that price up, the market would be completely exposed ?
Me thinks you mean "bear"

A simpler explanation: Before the meeting started, they cleared the room of all chairs.

I firmly believe this link will settle the whole debate, once and ferrell.

A properly secured Windows box is more secure than you think.

Just pointing out the irony, here. Did I read the directions? Not the first time through. Who does? ;-)

Wow! How could I submit a post that was so backwards. Damn you /. for posting a story so early!

I thought it was, "Two rights don't make a wrong".
In a perfectly running, perfectly operated vehicle, they're completely unnecessary.
Um. You forgot about the dummy in the oncomming lane.
Just further proof of Intelligent Design.

My reason? Well, because I want to put Microsoft in the Computer museum like their other competitors.

SO true. With Linux & *BSD, WEP and WPA are top priority. Getting WiFI to actually work happens much later. ;-)
The operating system behind the e-commerce everyone uses is Windows? Wow. That IS quite a target.
Windows Media Player, including a smart interface.
What does it mean when MS creates a "smart" interface?
I've actually had less autonomy.

How could MS hire that kind of testing force, ever?
Either you don't use Microsoft products or you haven't looked in the mirror, lately -- where you'll find yet another member of their "testing force".
