[ILUG] How much is Linux used?

[ILUG] How much is Linux used?

I'm asking because on a forum I mentioned Linux, and got the follwing 
replies:

reply 1:

" Given the market share of Linux (less then 1%) and the market share of 
Mac(3-4%) and Windows(85-90%).. seems a better ROI is concentrating on 
those."

reply 2:
"My numbers are solid. Google keeps track of the OS the user uses.
There is no installed base to speak of for Linux.
The server base is less then 20% of total (more like 2-3% if you include 
all servers), desktop is less then 1% (around 0.25%)"

surely these are not realistic figures?
