Hi :) While this is still true and unlikely to change many people are using chromebooks, tablets, phones and other devices to do things that they previously would have had to use a desktop to do. Laptops have also become much more popular too. A few years ago some study allegedly found that 80% of computer usage is now done using tablets and phones. For tablets and phones gnu&linux is king. Android is a flavour of gnu&linux on a layer of java. Blackberry is gnu&linux, and of course Chrome is too. iPads and iPhones, really anything Apple, is a flavour of BSD, which is another unix-based system = practically a sister/brother of gnu&linux. Apparently only about 1% of hand-helds (tablets and phones etc) use a Windows-based system. Windows has one major disadvantage in trying to run on hand-helds which is that it's a huge great big bloated behemoth despite their best efforts at slashing it down-to-size. It just about manages to cope on laptops but when they tried to push it onto netbooks it performed so badly that it killed the entire netbook market. We see some resurgence of the netbook market through Chromebooks but people are still wary of that form-factor, thanks to Windows. Windows are attempting to rewrite Windows to work on Arm chips, having recently abandoned their earlier recent attempt, but it's likely they will still need vast amounts of resources, such as one would reasonably expect from a desktop/laptop - and still not work on other form-factors. So wearables (incl watches) and handhelds, and chromebooks are likely to keep using unix-based systems, usually specifically gnu&linux. This bug was first raised when the word "desktop" covered all the form-factors that could be used in small-business and by families or other private usage. Nowadays the term "desktop", even if expanded to include laptops, only represents under 20% of that market. Regards from Tom :) On 13 December 2016 at 14:40, Luca Ciavatta
