To many zeros in your estimate. The real number might be around 10% of the entire population. "users with brains who want and are able to free themselves" To qualify, a user must have the intelligence and the savvy to even use computers at all. Then the user must desire to be free of Microsoft. And, finally, he must be able to free himself. Real life experience suggests that maybe 10% of the population in general qualifies.
For the most part, those who have "freed" themselves of Microsoft by migrating to Android have simply leaped into another form of bondage. Besides, how many of those Android users install Microsoft apps onto their devices? In reality, their escape from Microsoft OS's was just an accident, because Microsoft failed to get into the phone and mobile device market in a timely manner.
