The 1% Logical Fallacy

Many Micro$lut fanboys keep ranting and raving about how the fact that
Linux has less than 1% of the market share therefore means that Linux is
a crappy OS.

Not true and that's a logical fallacy.

Examples:

Rolls Royce has less than 1% of the car market but that doesn't make the
Rolls a bad car.

Alienware has less than 1% of the computer market but that doesn't make
Alienware a bad computer.

Private planes have less than 1% of the market but that doesn't mean
owning a private plane is a bad thing.

Less than 1% of the men in the world are married to a beautiful woman
but that doesn't necessarily mean that being married to a beautiful
woman is a bad thing.

Less than 1% of the American public knows how to wind surf. That doesn't
mean that wind surfing is a bad thing.

So, the next time you fanboys and girls think you are proving something
with your 1% trip, think again because the main reason Ubuntu is less
than 1% is because most people have never heard of it not because it's a
bad OS.
