It all depends on what U want, the ablity to write a differnt linux is One of its selling points........for example we wanted a linux only for storage applications like NAS,SAN,ISCSI....etc ( running on a power G5) ....since nothing in the open market was able to match our spec we wrote our own Linux OS due to be released in a few months and here in lies the power of Linux, not everybody wants a desktop OS, what we want is OS which can be tailored to ones needs and thus many companies (including ours) will develop different versions to suit our own needs.
also do note that Linux manynot have much of a penetration in the X86 segment , but look at the embedded systems sector , Embedded linux and RTLINUX is some of the most popular OS for the embedded sector and in Embedded N/W domain like ours the only OS we run is Linux ( WIN CE Sucks,actually it Sucks a lot)...............thus popularity is a relative term.
Linux may or maynot be popular in the desktop segment but look at other cores like ARM,PPC...etc Windows will be no where to be seen.
