Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.

Mac OS is actually at version 23 (they restarted the count at 10).

This plot is so stupid it's like comparing oranges to chairs. If they wanted to compare Kernels then compare Linux with XNU and Windows NT.

Didn't know XNU and Windows NT are hybrid kernels, interesting.

Popularity =/= quality tho. See: Windows. :^)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
