That doesn't make any sense at all. Half the Windows users won't know what
version of Windows they use, there'll be a lot of people who have no idea
that there's something besides Windows, and a whole bunch of people will
answer with the equivalent of "who cares?"

No, it wan't, your argument said that Linux was a niche product. If you
meant your argument to be something else, you should have specified that.
Words have meaning, and meaning is important.

No, you just did what you seem to do a lot when someone makes a point that
you can't refute: you try and change the subject and say we misunderstood
your original statement/argument.
