Study Finds Linux 'Ready For Prime-time'

Posted by Zonk on from the linux-to-replace-24-when-season-resumes dept.

An anonymous reader tipped us to a Techworld article proclaiming Linux as the next big thing ... again. A study of IT directors, VPs and CIOs has concluded that within five years the open-source OS will be running more than half of all important business applications. From the article: "In short, open source, especially Linux, is being legitimized by the major enterprise vendors, and user executives are more than happy to believe them ... Microsoft's thawing toward Linux is now easier to understand when faced with such data - even as Windows continues to grow as the other main server platform of choice."

    I swear I actually saw this happen once... santa was pissed.

    On a completely different topic, why in the hell do I see this exact same type of news article with a different title every three days on slashdot? Good god, drop the shit already, wait 5 years and see if it happens. We all went through this 5 years ago. :P
