Excellent article. I've seen so many "Linux is fizzling out" articles lately, its nice to see this one so carefully debunked.
Perhaps they have always been there, and as I am fairly new to Linux, I'm seeing what the older hands have been seeing for years.
I firmly believe that Linux is way more popular than any of the much publicized figures suggest, and is only lacking a method for accurately tracking the user base to show this. The Microsoft figure of however many million licenses they have sold is just as inaccurate, as they don't track the licenses in use, so can't quantify the number of people who have removed Vista and either gone back to XP or put Linux on their systems or dual boot instead.
