"Known facts" on Slashdot can be difficult to nail down"

"and "official" even harder."
Well when Microsoft , IDG and CRN and many others agree on that number ( wich is the lowest number used by them all ) I consider it official.
"Linux's share in the W3 Schools stats is 3.1%"
Thats generous considering its an American stats , but sadly Gnu/Linux asn't made great progress in America on the desktop.
"White boxes may be in decline"
Actually its the OEM who are in decline they used to hold 40% of the market but are now down to 30%, in part due to the fact that OEM are exiting the low margins desktop segment ( they make less offers ) , and they are eroding on the Laptop segment too , as there are more white box targetting Laptop for the higher margins this days. BTW Wal-mart are considered white boxes. also Dell as of recently also sell white boxes wich some people account for OEM sale, tigerdirect and systemax are considered white box , Cicero is also a white box.
Whats impressive is that a nobody OS like GNU/Linux already as a bigger market share then OS/2 , Apple , Beos all put togheter ( Gnu/linux is now officialy at 7% ).
Also its a known fact that oem are only 30% of the desktop computer market the withe box account for the remaining 70%.
Go read a real history book. you got your ass handed to you in Japan Until Canada , Australia and the Purple Heart Battalion joined and you won Japan by association because of the atomic bomb invented by the ally.
"as well as rebuilding Europe under the Marshall plan "
In the 1980s, some historians began to argue that the Marshall Plan might not have played as decisive a role in Europe's recovery as was previously believed. The first person to make this argument was the economic historian Alan S. Milward. These critics have pointed out that growth in many European countries revived before the large-scale arrival of US aid, and was fastest among some of the lesser recipients. While aid from the Marshall Plan eased immediate difficulties and contributed to the recovery of some key sectors, growth from the post-war nadir was largely an independent process. European argue that a similar amount of reconstruction money could have been obtained by nationalizing the holdings of wealthy Europeans who deposited their money in US banks during World War II.
Also it is good to note that the United States contributed no more than $13 billion dollars from an initial promise of 35 Billion, not even half what they said they would pay.
"shielding Western Europe against the commies"
