An interesting article that claims Linux "desktops" now outnumber Mac desktops.
 While "desktop" is a squishy term, and all such numbers are dubious, it is
intriguing that anyone would even make such a claim. 

My impression has been that Apple actually pushed back into some space they had
lost to Linux with OS X.  I can think of a couple of people that applies to
(obviously ancedotal) and I don't know anyone within the last 4-5 months that
has moved from Win or Mac to a Linux desktop.  Am I that out of touch or am I
missing something (LTSP deployments ramping up the numbers, etc...)?
