[luau] /.: Linux outpaces Mac on desk (from herald tribune)

[Roderick Gammon, Ph.D. (AEG, Inc)]

An anonymous reader points out this article in the International Herald
Tribune about corporate acceptance of computers running GNU/Linux, which
includes this snippet: "Linux is already outpacing Macintosh on desktops:
"Dan Kusnetzky, an analyst for International Data Corp., said Linux had a
3.9 percent share of desktops worldwide, outpacing Macintosh's 3.1 percent."
The article does not specify from where Kuznetsky draws either figure, but
can it be true that Linux systems currently outnumber Macintoshes?
