Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises

Posted by samzenpus on from the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race dept.

shougyin writes "For years, Linux has enjoyed much of its success as a replacement for Unix. Companies turned to Linux to replace Unix servers, or for new deployments within a Unix-heavy environment. Linux is still king there, but it's starting to encroach on Microsoft as well. Big companies are planning overwhelmingly (76.4%) to add more Linux servers in the next year, and less than half (41.2%) of the companies are planning to add Windows servers in the next year. Even more interesting, nearly half (43.6%) are actively planning to decrease use of Windows servers in the next year."

    Ok samzenpus, what did MS do to you this time?

    Seriously, three stories in a row? Were they all really the best of the bunch in the submission queue?
