Is there something in particular that makes 3% big?

It's a very big market. For example, Firefox has around the same market share in browsers.

Let's admit it, it's a pity celebration. I think the only thing that's special about it is that Linux has never crossed the 3% threshold before, whereas 2% was an on and off thing? Disclaimer, I did not do my research and I'm relying on very vague memories of those numbers.
