Slackware vs <windows wannabe> distros?

Cheers,

But what about the all-important market share? Won't somebody *please*
think of the market share?!?

I did an essay on that with numbers and everything. No one cared. I was
surprised that no one even challenged the numbers!!

Marketshare is rather meaningless to Slackware as well as other
"non-corporate" distro's as the software only has to generate enough income
to support one guy.

And marketshare is an overrated stat anyway. Apple has only about 5% of the
PC desktops yet it's stock is high, it has new products, and the company is
doing OK.... although I don't know how much of that is based on iPod sales
as opposed to computers and software. I think the Macintosh 'division'
makes enough to pay its way and I'm sure that P.V. makes a good living on
Slackware, if my previous numbers are anywhere near the target.
