Linux desktop market share is up as much as 61 percent, study finds
Posted by: admin in Business and Politics
It’s possible that the Linux desktop will never be anything more than a fad among geeky enthusiasts. If so, a growing swell of people appear to be much more faddish of late, as numbers from W3Counter.com appear to indicate.
Looking at the data, Linux clearly has a ways to go. But think about just how far it has come:
Linux went from 1.25 percent in May of 2007 to 2.02 percent in March of 2008. That is 61.6 percent increase in market share in nine months. [Put another way,] that’s 82 percent annual growth in installed computers.
