Wondering what good a newer "me too" project could do in this department...
(when a linux counter is established since so many years) ???

I am not sure if that counter on that side has much value, with Linux users' share being currently at 0.01% of total desktops, With Russia and Poland in the lead.
For such counter to have some value the Linux users would have to be be aware of this site to participate in statistics. I never heard of this site before. In addition, all Windows users would need to participate in the same way and be counted the same way in order for comparison to be fair.

Plus add Apple's MAC and Android which is now taking some ground at notebook/netbook market too, world is not bipolar. And also you have distinguish portable (phone, *book, tablet, laptop, ...) and desktop segment too.

That's true. Is a billion even a correct approximation?
