I'm not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

    Probably because it has to compete with piracy there, not with Microsoft and Adobe and such.

      ironically enough i think microsoft (at least until very recently) has had a very lenient stance on piracy exactly because of this

      piracy is the key to the consumer market in developing countries, consumer market is the key to enterprise (where the actual money lies)

      I remember switching to linux because windows was shit and because I was afraid of getting caught using pirated warez. Is there no fear of that there?
