What needs to be pointed out is that it seems the above link seems to take Chrome OS as a Linux distro, which techically is correcet, but privacy with Chrome and Google is a joke. Thats why I would not throw Chrome and Linux into one pot together, I differ between Google (Chrome), Linux, Windows and Mac OS. I recall that Linux was not that much able to benefit from Windows fall in the past two years, in fact has lost marketshares in that timeframe. So I conclude that the raise reported in that article, is due to a raise in the selling of Chromebooks. I would not be surprised one bit to learn that Linux itself, without Chrome, has stayed were it was, more or less.

Sorry, I must disagree, Robbins: no revolution here. Only Google playing its cards well.

And privacy-wise, Google is even worse than Microsoft. The difference is that their hardware stuff works better than Microsoft's tablet junkware.
