Yuan Meng: Global Linux user market share rose to 2.78%

Some may ask whether Linux users may run back to the XP camp? A very small number of Linux users abandon Linux and run back to the XP camp.

Www.w3counter.com finally published statistics for January June 7 at around one o'clock P.M., May this year. It seems that the website has done a lot of validation work for this release, which is delayed for several days. The published statistics are as follows:

January

XP 51.86 49.95 (the fastest drop)

Vista 18.19 17.60 (significant decrease)

Win 7 13.21 14.33 (significant increase)

Mac OS 7.96 7.83 (significant decrease)

Linux 1.60 2.78 (fastest growing)

Win 2003 0.90 0.89 (almost flat)

IPhone 0.81 0.83 (slow increase)

Win 2000 0.39 0.34 (slightly decreased)

WAP 0.10 0.11 (almost flat)

Android 0.10 0.08 (slightly reduced)

From the above statistics, we can see that the global market share of XP users is already less than half (<50%, down by nearly two percentage points), Vista has shown a tired situation, Win 7 is a strong debut. The global market share of Linux users has reached an unprecedented height of 2.78% (an increase of more than 1 percentage point), which has never been recorded in history. According to the statistical samples of the website, one percentage point represents nearly million people. Therefore, we can be sure that in, millions of people jumped to the Linux camp from old XP users, instead of upgrading to Win 7. This is just a concept to grasp the scientific nature of objective things.

Some may ask whether Linux users may run back to the XP camp? A very small number of Linux users abandon Linux and run back to the XP camp. However, it is impossible to return to XP on a large scale. Why? Since, in March, many excellent Linux desktops were officially released, such as Ubuntu 10.04 (released in May), Fedora 13, and Mint 9. facts have proved that, these excellent Linux computer desktops can be used as a general alternative to XP's "old-fashioned.

Objectively speaking, choosing Linux for millions of people to discard XP is not as simple as logging on to the army. This mass migration (XP --> Linux) must have internal objective reasons. Currently, from XP to Win 7, or from XP to Linux, people are constantly exploring and thinking around the world. Especially in China, there is still a lack of authoritative Chinese GNU/Linux websites. We will introduce GNU/Linux to Chinese people in an original sense and give them a correct way forward.
