Would be awesome if this sites statistics were representative for the whole Internet though. However, additionally to the statistics I think we can also count a lot of low-tech Linux bases systems in 3rd world countries used for education. I think the integration of under developed countries in our digital age will heavily rely on open source products like Linux (not only for price, but also for portability [think cheap ARM based machines], security, updatability and customization of interfaces) and thus push the marked share a lot although it often goes unnoticed because they of course lack access to the Internet and there's really no reliable way to gather market share in terms of total installs (even for Microsoft if you include pirated copies or copies just lying around somewhere at home - like my XP and Vista copies).
