Ubuntu stats were posted at 8 million served, mailed, shipped Jan. 01, 
2007.

I convert over 200 systems and encourage more than 500 individuals per 
year, and, if 100 million of us do that. the numbers are good.  There 
are hundreds of distros. http://pclinuxos.com is another very worthwhile 
distro, that runs live.

If there are reversions to something else after we have done our 
consultation, that is up to the user.  They have free choice.
You already know about the imunity to the "114,000 Microsoft virus 
Definitions", and the upto 50X speed increase GNU/Linux affords, and the 
thousands of free games, programs, applications.

Totally alien concepts to Microsoft.
