Bonjour esldude,
Even though I do follow your line of thought, stating that Linux stations amount to 1% is in my view false. Firstly it cannot be in any precise way accurately estimated, but whenever the available figures are looked into in details they just do not amount to that 1%. From servers to desktops to embedded devices Linux is very widely present and ever growing in a world where less and less people will be willing to pay for OSes and software when the free opened alternatives already are ahead of most chargeable solutions. What do you just think the Web servers are running on?
Sure Linux distributors do not have the billion of dollars to waste to try to convince the world's mostly uniformed users that they need yet another new computer to accommodate the latest yet already outdated version of so and so OS.
But it's besides the point. I do not use any Microsoft product, haven't in years and millions of end users, companies, governmental and educational agencies have chosen the same path and I truly think it's only a growing tendency over the last decade. There are plenty metrics to prove so.
And Linux users have more flexible computer audiophile equipment to choose from than just the Hiface.
Regards,
Alain-Olivier
