It'd be great to dig into the data more (plus get some context) - any chance of source/links?

I love how Linux can resurrect older machines that the yearly bloat of MS leaves in it's wake.

Perhaps we need another Anita Posch to promote Linux.

It'd be a great long-term win if the Ubuntu 'variant' of Linux (which is a word commonly found in several African languages - meaning 'humanity' or 'a person is a person through other people') finally gets to steals a charge on the corporate giants there.

I'd also like to see a breakdown of how popular different Linux variants are around the world.

For instance, keeping with the Ubuntu theme, I wonder how popular the Ubuntu variant Kylin in China?

With all of the changing variables (tech, population, age) it's prettyy tricky to see how the future with any of the OS will play out.

I'd love for Linux will outlast them all though.
