    No these numbers are from netcraft, the parent stated there were only thousands of linux webservers. No organization chalenges netcrafts numbers. If 28% of all webservers are Linux and there are only 10K servers he is saying there are less than 40K webservers on the internet. if the math seems hard youll get in in the 3rd grade..

    Let me format that
    Linux is on thousands of web servers now, but OS/2 ran tens of thousands of ATM's, which have only recently been converted.

    So lets assume that thousands means 9,999 servers that linux runs on. OS group Percentage
    Windows 49.2%
    Linux 28.5%
    Solaris 7.6%
    BSD 6.3%
    Other Unix 2.4%
    Other non-Unix 2.5%
    Unknown 3.6%

    Do you honestly think that there are slightly over 40,000 thousand webservers?

    Note From netcraft: Microsoft Windows has a significantly higher share of the web when one counts by computer, rather than by host, as in the conventional Web Server Survey. The survey shows 49% of the computers running the web are Windows based; a little more than all of the Unix-like operating systems combined. As some of the 3.6% of computers not identified by Netcraft operating system detector will in reality be Windows systems, it would be fair to say about half of public Web Servers world-wide are run on Microsoft operating systems. End Netcraft Note:

    This means everyone runnint NT/2k/XP with IIS/Apache on a cable modem counts twords MS's total here thus Redmonds dominance here is more due to their position on the desktop rather than the server market. I cant find the numbers for host but either way your 'Just now its on thousands of computers' is bunk..

    Its not that the music is crappy (imho) its that its not work 20$ for a CD that I might want one or two songs off of.

    Me I get all my CD's a cheepo (A used CD place in uptown Minneapolis) 2.50-6.00 a CD is worth it for me. Occasionally youll get one too scuffed to rip well but they take returns.

    I can think of very few CD's worth 20$ Hybird Theory and Infest come to mind but I got those used as well.

    Actually p2p has really helped people like me because some people will buy the CD rip it and then take it to cheepo for cash(note: they are stealing)
