Windows 2003 takes 5% away from Linux
ZuperDee writes "According to Netcraft, the number of Windows 2003 servers has doubled since July, and 5% were running Linux before, which is consistent with the trends they've been observing for some time. This doesn't look good for Linux, in my opinion. Maybe we should all start to think about jumping ship?"

GO LINUX!
SCO LINUX!
SCO STINKY POOP!!!
Very good idea! This was an alarmist article about nothing much.

Score: -1 100% Flamebait
For fuck's sake, _LEARN_ English!
"It is probably possible that the only reason those 5% were using Linux in the first place was because there old version of windows didn't support the feature the needed properly, so they were forced to use Linux."
You of course mean...

OK, now go back to school, boy.
hehehehe....
This is just another piece of evidence for my conspiracy theory that the editors purposely pick flamebait (usually more subtle than this story) to increase the number of story comments....
These "In Soviet Russia" jokes long lost their welcome a long time ago.
Stop using plz, kthx
I seems that alot of people would love to understand why people arnt moving in the linux direction. While I personally think linux is great and all i just cant switch over the company i work for to linux at the moment. It has NOTHING to do with ease of use. I could easily configure linux to be easy to use. I do all the installs and config not the actual user.
The reason is that i just cant get the commercial software i need for Linux. For example AutoCad, our accounts system.
It would be nice to be running on linux, for stability etc. However the continuing problem is that our company is developing custom software for use only in house, on windows platforms. We cant afford to have users running two platforms. This will of course increase our reliance on MS.
I think the linux community needs to focus on making applications easy to port. And perhaps encourage 3rd party commercial software. I think the recources of open source programmers would be better used creating NEW and inivative products rather than making copies of existing software.
It is possible that there will be less reason to switch to linux in the future as MS is definatly getting their act together with stability etc. For example time spent doing general maintenance etc, would now be about one quater since moving from a win98 to XP enviroment. (our company did not suffer from any of the recent virus issues either). Moving to win2003 is a very real prospect for us in the coming months, perhaps even dumping our linux mail/file servers.
Well thats just our real reason for sticking with MS at this stage. I hope that in the future our company will be operating exclusivly on linux. But this really seems to depends on weather the community embraces 3rd party developers or scares them away because they, heaven forbid, are trying to make money.
