Blogging Ottinger (tim)The Most Ubiquitous Operating System in the World
There is an old joke that the most popular operating system in the world is Mac OS X, that Windows is just the most ubiquitous. After all, people who like windows have mostly likely only worked in DOS before windows and have a myopic view.
It turns out that the joke isn’t true either, because windows isn’t even the most ubiquitous. It’s an embedded operating system.
Oh, and there is another interesting fact: do you know that there is much more hardware supported by Debian Linux than Windows? It’s true, but not in the way one might think. There is less PC Desktop Hardware supported by Debian, but more processors and hardware for different kinds of computers (whereas Windows is only Intel desktop computers). For most people, windows has vendor support for a wider range of hardware they care about.
