Linux seems to be losing no matter where you look.
The ODF vs OOXML debates.
Market Share.

So if you want to be on the losing team, go with Linux.
At least you can say Linux is consistent.

After 10+ years it still is hovering around 0.6 percent of desktop market
share.

Um, Linux cannot be sold so it therefore has ZERO market share.

Translation: not enough users so it's market share cannot be determined.

Again Francis, you've missed the point entirely. Market share cannot be
determined because it's FREE and can be installed on as many computers as
one wants. There is no way to count how many machines Linux is installed
on. I have 6 machines here running Linux. Since they don't need to
be "activated", how can they possibly be counted? Please tell me how you
think they can be counted.

Cheers.

Ahem, a market is where things are bought and sold. Linux does neither
and therefore is not part of a market and it cannot possible have a
market share? Too complicated for you, troll?

#9 may also be applicable unless you are stating that nobody would be
interested if they actually had to pay.
