Default Do we use computers this much?


I was going through the google trends regarding OS at the end of last year and found it interesting that India ranks top in both Windows and Linux usage, but no way near in Apple, quite apparently.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=apple...te=2008&sort=2

Sort it in any way, you will see India up there, weird! This is when I can safely vouch for 5 out of 10 idiots in my neighbourhood using computers. And this is also true for across many years, not just 2008. It can't be due to population coz as audible, users need to be online for the usage stats and etc and all..and not many use the internet as compared to other nations.0

Whatever,, an interesting trend.

Windows - FREE from Neighborhood friend or Rs 10 DVD
Linux - Free from Ubuntu itself

Apple, ? No one how to install Hackintosh....thats why

pretty obvious. How many in India are ready to spend 55k minimum for a PC?

That is the reason why windows and linux reign in India.
