“Like a snowball rolling downhill, the Linux operating system
keeps gathering momentum. It seems as though every week some major
vendor either unveils plans to offer Linux on its hardware or a
company with Linux in its name goes public with a megabucks
IPO.”
“This snowball of interest is threatening to become an
avalanche. And don’t expect interest in Linux to melt when the
winter winds die.”
“What do IT shops see in Linux that’s driving this growing
frenzy? In hockey, it might be called a hat trick: Linux users like
its price, performance, and reliability. Those are key
findings of a new InformationWeek Research survey of 300 IT
managers. Not surprisingly, the operating system is gaining
popularity with IT staffers, too.”
