Keep in mind, it's not just clients, but servers too. A friend of mine works for a decently sized company that has about 1600 (virtual) servers internationally. And yes, all of them were affected.
You do realize that linux is something like 80% of servers. Which also well out number personal machines. If you include android linux is easily the most used os on the planet.
It’s 80% of web servers but not 80% of ALL servers.
if the question is which os has the most distinct running copies then yeah its linux.
