Howdy Cowboy,
Yes, you are right. Windows is still there for "regular users" IE desktop users who use MS office daily . I too use Outlook through RDP for my email and calendar even though my profession is in linux systems.
I don't have the accurate figure but if you see the server market, linux has captured about 55% of the market and is still growing. Desktop market is also growing but not as fast as server. Dell started shipping ubuntu laptops, microsoft started supporting linux in their virtual pc, Novell started making enterprise linux desktop (suse), oracle started shipping their database with their own linux, linux driver is one of the requirement for hardware manufacturer nowadays.
Just as saying goes "Rome was not built in one day". Lets have some patience.
