Had? How has it changed? As much as you want it to change, it has not.

It is possible to give away any product. As a promotion, a car company can giveaway a number of free cars... any product can be given away. Another example is to give away a cellphone to intice people to buy a cellphone service plan. Your claim is flawed.

Nope, it began with the first software that came with the hardware.

That does not make it an accurate, reliable or desirable number. In many ways, inaccurate numbers are worse than no numbers at all.

Personal observations are worse than using browser habits. Using such a limited perspective just shows how desperate you are.

I don't make ANY claim about how many desktop users there are because there is no reliable way for YOU, me or anyone else to determine. If you can't deal with that, it is your problem. The simple fact is, you have no accurate information to backup any claim about Linux desktop useage.

Sorry, but that only shows the number of people that registered at that site, to say that represents "number of Linux users" is a wrong and as idiotic as your claim that only software can be given away.

Only shows people that have REGISTERED at that site, in statistical terms, it would not be considered an accurate gage of actual Linux use.

as the people at Linux counter points out "Thus, the only way to "know" the number of Linux users worldwide, is to make a guess,"

Since Linux counter only represents people that have registered at Linux counter and not Linux usage as a whole, any claim that it accurately represents is simply false.

It seems you are quite desperate to bash Linux to make such false claims as "had..." "Only with software is it possible to give away products." (a truly idiotic claim). If you do not have accurate numbers to back up your claim, your claims are meaningless.
