3D-pie is way too manipulative, change it to 2D-pie chart so we can assure small shares don't seem bigger as they are and bigger shares don't seem smaller than they are.

How can get the OS Mkt Share & Trends data seperated for PC market & Server market?

I know Windows dominates PC market but not Server market.

Residential/Corporate filter will not help.

Is there any way to get that report?

siyer 10/18/11 2:29AM

Hmmmm... Linux at 0.5% market share as of may 2010...

Somehow I find that extremely unlikely.

Yes, you can separate between residential and corporate usage by clicking on the "Report Filters" box toward the top of this page.

Can you detail the difference of OS usage at-work vs. at-home?
