[CS-FSLUG] Latest survey numbers bode poorly for Windows 7, Linux - NOT good. :(

[Fred A. Miller]

Of course, if there's a silver lining in all of this data, it has to be
this other number -- taken from StatCounter -- that shows the Windows 7
beta rapidly overtaking Linux in terms of overall desktop OS share. In
other words, though Microsoft may not be able to dislodge its own legacy
product from the PC desktop throne, it can at least point to this
Pyrrhic victory against its archenemy the FOSS community as a bright
spot in an otherwise dismal forecast.

As a side note: How embarrassing must it be for the Linux desktop crowd
to see their pride and joy overtaken by a piece of prerelease software?
It's bad enough that the name "Ubuntu" has been turned into the punch
line in a Mike Judge animated series. But to be beaten by a beta? After
nearly a decade of vocal advocacy? That's just sad.
