Lots of folks would care what the actual deployment market metrics are. If you are thinking of putting together a proposal to write software for Linux or port software to Linux, due diligence requires that you estimate the revenues resulting from such an effort in order to justify the costs. If you are looking at a 10% market share, your business decision might be quite different than if you are looking at a 20% market share.
Since software is a high fixed cost (up-front costs associated with implementation and maintenance) and low marginal cost (the cost of stamping another CD and printing some more docs) business, often times a few percentage points can make a big difference.
