Desktop Linux market share had a growth of about 50%
last year according to the recent data by NetMarketShare. If we

However, in 2011, starting from 0.96% market share in February,
desktop Linux market share ended at 1.41%.

to 92.23% in December 2011 from 93.61% in February 2011. Mac market
share increased to 6.36% from 5.42%
