It depends what you call “Linux” obviously, but android runs on top of a [forked] Linux Kernel.

It's still Linux kernel though. Linux is far more machines than windows. Embedded computers and phones are computers too. If you're talking desktops and laptops of course windows is in the lead by a huge amount.

Which is meaningless for userspace apps, as Linux kernel isn't part of official Android NDK stable APIs.
