Interesting argument :-). BTW, what is the estimated number of linux
users in Israel? OK, let's ask better questions:
- How many people know to use linux? [What's the threshold? How
about: they can do the same work on linux about as effeciently as in
Windoze (of quicker ;-).]
- How many people use linux as their main "desktop" system?
- How many linux installations are there on desktop computers?
- How many cluster/server/embedded computers run linux?
[Approximate] numbers, anybody?
