From: "Joe Barr" At least that is what is being reported in a leading Windows-oriented publication. http://www.entmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=5741 ENTƒ ™s own survey of 800 Windows enterprise sites found that 37 percent of enterprise sites are running Linux on servers. Plus, Linux even appears to be gaining a foothold in Microsoftƒ ™s ancestral homeland -- the desktop. The survey finds that 25 percent of the sites surveyed have Linux running on client machines. Just 18 percent run Macs. While Microsoft has pulled strong-arm tactics to keep its VARs and end-user companies in line and forced into upgrades, there are choices in the market. And IT managers are exercising their choices in droves. Many IT managers Iƒ ™ve spoken with over the past year say they are moving at least some applications from Windows to Linux environments. -- --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-4* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/1.45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 379/1 106/1 2000 633/267 |
