It's ok though. When you decide to let go you will find you can fly ;-)

i'm not seeing that.

Total MacOS: 1.71 + 0.74 + 0.62 = 3.07%
Total Linux: 0.71 + 0.38 + 0.31 + 0.20 + 0.17 + 0.14 + 0.11 = 2.02 %

i'm all for talking up the reality of linux, but lets do it with accurate claims.

While I respect your enthusiasm and optimism, like all stats those can be interpreted as you wish if you want to be selective. For instance, just Windows 8 users alone, an OS which has been roundly bagged in the four months or so it has been on the market, actually "eclipse" Mac and Linux users combined and has a faster growth rate as well.
