You seem to be forgetting that UNIX of different flavours is the OS 
used most on the Net. Some of the servers run NT, but OS/2?
0,01% probably.

BTW, many people who want to run Linux, don't have to buy a system
with any other OS preinstalled. They may buy pure hardware in this case.
This may explain the remaining 22.4%
And OS/2 is far from from the most common 32bt OS!
