Infobeads: Linux – Not a Mass Market in Business

“Linux has become one of the most talked-about phenomenon’s in
the computer industry. I personally can’t recall of any platform
getting the kind of broad ISV support that Linux has received so
early in the game. If one were only to view the vendor press
releases, the missives from the development community, and the
“buzz”, you’d expect that Microsoft is in imminent danger of being
toppled by Linux.

“However, here at InfoBeads Insider, I tend to put more faith in
customers’ actions than in the hype that comes from the industry at
large. So, as our contribution to understanding the rise in Linux’
popularity and role in the industry, we provide for you the latest
penetration data from more than 260,000 sites in the CI Technology
Database.”
