That's 200,000 new *Linux* devices per *day*!


begin{quote}

200,000 Android smartphones activated per day.

Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt has told the media that 200,000 new Android 
devices were being activations each day.

A host of analyst figures have already placed Android as the fastest 
growing smartphone operating system in the US, outpacing Apple’s iPhone 
iOS, and quickly threatening the Blackberry’s dominance as the leading 
smartphone provider.

Schmidt attributed the operating system’s rapid growth to Motorola’s 
Droid X device, according to technology news site, TechCrunch.

US analysts NPD Group reported yesterday that Motorola Droid was the top 
selling Android run device in the US, and that it was first time since 
2007 that Research in Motion's Blackberry was bumped to the second spot. 

Schmidt said Android was helping boost its search advertising revenues.

And that's 199,999 people who don't give a shit.

Hint: Think Microwave ovens. Does anyone care what OS runs them?

All people care about is that they hit the button and their popcorn
cooks.

Linux desktop is still at less than 1 percent even after 19 years of
being free.

Wow! That's 6 /million/ a month. _THAT_ should get the Windopes and
Macintards excited! Maybe a few thousand of them could neck themselves
as a celebration.

Probably more than that.
Every month, these figures seem to *up* by 20,000 a day.

Average for February was 100,000 a day.
Average for May was 160,000 a day.

He now presumably has the July figure, 200,000 a day?

August very likely 220,000 a day..... and so it goes on.

.... and - just as our old friend flatfish points out - almost none of the 
people buying these even know that it's running Linux - just that it's 
brilliant at what it does, better than anything else out there, at a price 
they are willing to pay.  As flatfish (perhaps unintentionally!) implies, 
the results of a "blind" test, and hence the ultimate accolade :-)

Is that the number of licenses sold to users? Or is it the number of bulk 
licenses sold by Microsoft to OEM, stores, etc?

Microsoft has a special method of licensing and counting licensing.

I call it "dick licenses", similar in genesis to the term "dick inches".

I call your response a "dick response" - it's does nothing to refute the 
cited figures.

Conflating again retard?

So you are the rocking horse winner!


Linux sells 10 million+ embedded Linux gadgets PER DAY.

Is that licenses sold by conflating Linux hardware sales
with micoshaft software sales?

Micoshaft and appil lost if you are going to compare
like for like with 200,000 new Linux mobiles sold per day
compared with micoshaft's mobiles being returned for
refund by the 10's of thousands and appil loosing the numbers game.

Everyone knows Microsoft already ships a lot of Windows by fiat.

And yet Zeke still has to whip out Ballmer's big "ten inch" for him.

Well, Microsoft had two things going for them with Windows 7. First, 
quite a few people finally bought new computers and that's an automatic 
sale for them. And, second, many who got Vista with their computers, 
desperately needed something that sort of kind of worked. Add on all the 
Windows 7 boxes sitting in retail shops -- not actually selling -- and 
all the Windows 7 licenses that are really XP "downgrade" licenses, and 
that pretty much accounts for Microsoft's Windows 7 "sales."

Corporate buyers (those who really *can* choose) are still not rushing 
to adopt Windows 7.

It's interesting isn't it ?

The one market Microsoft doe NOT control the distribution channels, and 
Linux growth is STELLAR!

Netbooks started off in the same way, but then Microsoft got to work 
stopping distribution, and forcing XP/Vista7 onto netbooks, and killing 
the market.

Certainly not, if you want to watch this guy:

Evolution is as much a fact as the earth turning on its axis and going around
the sun.  At one time this was called the Copernican theory; but, when
evidence for a theory becomes so overwhelming that no informed person
can doubt it, it is customary for scientists to call it a fact.  That all
present life descended from earlier forms, over vast stretches of geologic
time, is as firmly established as Copernican cosmology.  Biologists differ
only with respect to theories about how the process operates.

I can't be too sure about that. One of our business partners was
looking for a full time contractor over summer to migrate several XPs
to Windows 7 in the upper midwest in multiple companies with 500+
employees. But yes, you are right in saying that there isn't a rush.

And why should there be a rush?  SP1 is still in beta, isn't it? :-)
