Don't forget that the Palm devices have been increasingly difficult to install on PCs, and requiring users to own/install more than one application in order for Palm devices to synch with Outlook is unattractive to most.
Regardless of who installs what on what device, the sales of the actual devices supporting the actual OS's are what is triggering the numbers. Last I checked, most PPC devices that originally offered Linux as an alternative were being pulled. Even in the real world, Linux is only making up like 1% of all sales.
Also realize that Palm has even stepped away from its own, successful OS, only to mimic PPC 2002 and 2003. Even if Palm OS doesn't go away, in 5 years you won't be able to tell the difference between the two.
