It is true that Android has a larger market share than iOS in China, but this has zero bearing on the percentages of pro audio/video editing systems in use. If you're counting oranges, and you decide the numbers are not impressive enough so you include broccoli (but call them oranges), it's less than convincing. I live in China, and I promise you, on desktop and laptop systems, Linux is more rare here than in the US. The prevailing mentality about free software here is that it's better to steal proprietary software than to use free software honestly: they prefer to crack Windows than use Linux. My students (at the #3 or #4 ranking conservatory in China) think I'm a freak for using Linux; they find it impressive in some way, and exotic, but nobody wants to follow suit. On at least one occasion, someone guessed I was using a cracked OSX. Linux is barely on the radar. hjh _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
