Linux Hits 1% Market Share Milestone - anyweb - 2009-05-02
Yes boys and girls, it's Net Applications time. Sure, their figures are flawed, and sure, they're misused all over the non-scientifically educated media, but that doesn't mean they do not indicate trends. One of those trends was a slowly rising popularity of Linux, which hit 0.93% market share in August 2008, only to sink back again during the following months. Well, it's April May 2009 now, and Linux has finally crossed the 1% market share line!

Possibly. Netbooks aren't really my thing personally, so I don't have any experience with them, but it does seem that a lot that I see are running XP now. Still, Linux did get a little bit of mainstream distribution for some time
