Millions or tens of millions is better. Canonical updated their user
count to 12 million last year:

And Jos recently pointed out that OpenSuse counts between 7 and 8
million users: http://en.opensuse.org/Statistics

So combine OpenSuse's measured numbers and Ubuntu's approximate market
share, and 12 million looks like a serious underestimate - 20 million
would be more accurate, perhaps.

Cheers,
Dave.
