The 0.76% figure for Linux is a low figure even for just desktop Linux. "Machines connected to the Internet" that run Linux are clearly much higher than that even if you exclude Android.

Clearly the stat you are quoting must have been just for desktop Linux. Even for desktop Linux, though, more reasonable numbers seem to be in the 1.5% neighborhood. I'm guessing that number is from Net Applications, which also happens to be seemingly the only web hit analyzation company that claims Linux desktop usage has gone down rather than up over the past couple of years.
