Microsoft Claims Firms 'Hitting a Wall' With Linux

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday November 16, 2005 @07:58AM from the self-serving-studies-and-other-misnomers dept.

maxifez writes writes to tell us that Microsoft has released yet another independent study downplaying the viability of Linux at the enterprise level. The study claims that Windows is "more consistent, predictable, and easier to manage than Linux." From the article: "The study, commissioned by the software giant from Security Innovation, a provider of application security services, claimed that Linux administrators took 68 per cent longer to implement new business requirements than their Windows counterparts." Vnunet.com has also provided a PDF of the original report.
