Very entertaining infographic at http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/infographic-history-linux/

If there’s one thing which must really piss off Bill Gates to no end, it must be the enduring popularity of Linux and other free software, as it undercuts his “if you want good software, you have to pay for it” attitude. As Linux has shown, it is indeed possible to produce good software and a good operating system, then give it away for nothing to anyone that wants to use it.

Something seems to be missing in the Linux usage pie chart. What does the purple segment stand for in the pie chart in the left?

Public libraries perhaps! Although, with "All of the above" as an option, public libraries might not work out so well!
