“”Linux remains in a two-horse race with Windows, but
we’re finding Linux growing at two to three times the rate of
Windows,” Jim Zemlin, the Linux Foundation’s executive director,

increasing use of virtualization to cut costs, Linux is naturally
positioned to provide real value to users during the downturn and
beyond.”
