I think it's important to consider that desktops and laptops now make up a minority of personal computers on the internet. Including smartphones and tablets MS OS share is closer to 15%.

Which is why I specifically said desktop + laptop. The parent was clearly referring to developer work occurring on Windows, Mac, GNU/Linux.

I'm willing to wager the radical majority of developer work occurs not on a smartphone, but on a desktop or laptop. Whether we're talking coding, design or otherwise. Even the work for smartphone software occurs almost entirely off of a smartphone (with the phone mostly used for testing).
