As always, we need to know just where the figures come from. In this case, it is a limited source. W3Schools pull data out of their own log file; they’re not tracking anyone else’s site.
Some wags might argue that W3Schools would naturally have a lower record of Microsoft-based users because the site is all about teaching good standards-compliant web-site development and design!
Of course, the truth is there is plenty at W3Schools for Microsoft users, including ASP and ASP.NET tutorials with SQL Server and ADO code.
To celebrate Microsoft’s new Bing search engine I asked it to tell me the Linux market share. Amongst the pages of stock market info – not to mention the recommended related search term “Windows market share” – there was this interesting tidbit from 2003 where Siemens Business System declared Linux would have 20% desktop market share within enterprises by 2008.

While the final frontier – the desktop – has been perceived as a Windows stronghold the figures do show Linux penetration is creeping steadily up and up.
