Damn, there are more people using Windows XP than there are linux(all distros) and MacOSX users combined. ;P
What the article says is that there were 46 million
licenses sold. That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish. Due to the extortion of the OEMs, get a new system, get XP. That counts for a license sale. However, there is no guarantee that XP actually stayed on those machines. My neighbor bought his family a new Sony Vaio that came with XP several months ago. Since then, he and his wife became so disgusted with it that they finally decided to take my advice. Perhaps her losing a report she needed to submit for the last class she needed to pass for graduation had something to do with it?
Losing two week's worth of work, having to stay up all night getting ready for an 8:00AM class, really puts these things in perspective. After that, they asked me to install Mandrake for them: completely, no dual booting, a complete 'Drake install. So make that 45,999,999 XP users
