I challenge this "truth" and call it a myth!

Depending on whom you trust, statistics (which can only be accounted
reliably on software sales) tell that GNU/Linux is used on the desktop
either 1% more or less that Apple MacOS.

Now, I know that for every disc set I had I installed GNU/Linux on
several machines, and made copies for many people.

Some versions where never bought. Apply that thought to those numbers.

Now add up that you're confusing 92% Windows with 92% Windows XP
(implicitly) and you have to take in account also that there are several
kinds of Windows, and Internet Explorers, many of which with
capabilities many times different and sometimes incompatible.

If you want to design for the majority of IE, you have to make a page
that is rendered in at least three different ways to get it right :)
