Story: Microsoft to Linux: 'Bring it on'

Steve (UK) : "What I can see is that the number of Linux lovers appears to be equal to the number of users, and the number of Windows lovers appears to be limited to Microsoft and you. I think that speaks volumes. "

Yeah? Will you excuse me while I laugh?
Let me see.. Windows has over 96% share of the desktops on the entire planet, even including China where 99% of all software piracy is of Microsoft Windows or Office, resulting in Microsoft totally dominating the Chinese market (the world's fastest growing big PC market) as well.
Linux on the other hand has an underwehelming less than 1% of the world desktop market.
Going by your premiss that "number of Linux lovers appears to be equal to the number of users", there doesn't seem to be many people who are particularly fond of Linux are there?
And.. using your own yardstick, the world's consumers must simply LOVE Windows, having voted overwhelmingly for Windows with their ceckbooks! :)
