   The desktop market share does seem to be growing from the 2-3% figure. I   
   do NOT count Android and ChromeOS. If you don't have a clue what OS you're   
   using are you really interested.   
      
   The 3% is fascinating. There is sort of a truism in politics where 3% of   
   the people are radical rightists, 3% are radical leftists, and the other   
   94% really don't give a shit. That's even been extended to the US   
   Revolutionary War that was caused by the 3% of the population that were   
   troublemakers.
