you see, that pie chart shows a lot of windows editions, and not linux editions and mac editions, thus making them smaller
therefore it's inaccurate
linux has flavors like mint, and mac i'm not too sure about but it has snow leopard
think of it:
>graph shows windows vista and whatnot
>graph doesn't show linux mint and stuff
>graph doesn't show mac snow leopard
you get what i'm trying to say?
if you just eliminate the versions all together you'll get a huge chunk of mac and linux users
so that chart is basically biased
it's hard to explain, please don't stuff on me if you don't understand
and so linux isn't really that unpopular
Logistically this doesn't make sense. Linux doesn't have a single distro that you could call Linux. Obviously that part of the pie chart accounts for every distribution, of which there are too many to name. As for Mac OS X, it has new versions, but they are all numbered so there's no point in separating those out either, especially considering how many there are. (5 or 6 active ones i think)
I don't see how generalizing all the distros under the name "Linux" would lower their market share.
