Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises

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."

    This web browser is not standards compliant. It is a pain to write a website for and severely limits what a programmer can do with a web page. As a result, this website will work in a degraded fashion, and some part may appear odd or even broken. The broken part is the browser you are using! We are lacking patience, time and motivation in supporting such a cumbersome product. For the benefit of all, you can get a better experience by upgrading to one of the web browsers below. They are free!

    Wow :-O
    This is an amazing portrayal of an extremely holier-than-thou, self centered attitude. I sure hope no actually useful site actually uses this crap.
