If you look at the numbers again then it really does make sense. Are you forgetting how many people there are in the United States? 661,400 PHYSICIANS and SURGEONS is not a weird number. Maybe you should check your "figures" before you try to comment on other people and telling they are wrong. No, where is you common sense?

But it look like the other guys came to the exact same conclussion as I did. Can someone update this article so that people aren't constantly re-doing the research? It looks like Rosson pointed out the error five months back. I couldn’t see the other comments until I did my own research and posted mine.

That's incorrect. The W3Counter stats show Linux at 4.5% in April 2010 (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp). That means there were 54M Linux users at the time. Which is more in line with what I've been saying. Currently, the W3Counter stats show Linux at 5.1% - which equals 76.5M users, if the Forrester numbers for total PCs are accurate for this year. I’ve also noticed the real problem with the current answer:

The Windows numbers are inflated due to products (web spiders, AV security products...) that aren't browsers but represent themselves as IE to websites for compatibility reasons. Ubuntu, a single Linux distro, had over 12M users at the time this 19M number was suggested: http://ostatic.com/blog/canonical-announces-12-million-ubuntu-users-google-makes-a-comeback. Fedora, another Linux distro, in May of 2010, estimated their number of users to be 24M, based on update statistics. Most authoritative sources would guess the Fedora numbers to be inflated and the Ubuntu statistics to be under represented, but the real number would be well over 19M, just for these two distros combined. Throw in Debian, OpenSuse, Gentoo, and literally dozens of others.. and the number may easily be over 30M. Also, "Linux Users" includes much more than desktop Linux. If you own a DVR, GPS or Android phone, you're a Linux user. Linux is the kernel, not the user interface, and a huge number of devices use it. There were over 67M Android phones sold last year.

If you define NGO as "non-government organization," the answer should actually be zero. I have met the purported "Mother of NGOs" in China, who constantly reminds people that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) directly controls all organizations in China. NGOs in the Western sense have always been anathema to the CCP, and Chinese NGOs are opaque, cosmetic extensions of the Party's power and make no pretenses of independence.

I have been having an argument (discussion?) with my husband about the number of different races in the world. I remember the children's song we sang in church when I was growing up, "Jesus Loves the Little Children," and remember tghe line, "red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight," and was trying to compare the ethnic groups or races with the distinct groups. You have explained it well. Thank you, Sean, for that information. I have been having an argument (discussion?) with my husband about the number of different races in the world.
