“Linux is making serious headway in the enterprise — at the
expense of Windows.”
“Companies are increasingly turning to Linux rather than
adopting Windows 2000 according to a report published this month by
research firm IDC.”
“In its report, Windows Adoption Study, IDC found that of the
788 respondents made up of small, medium and large businesses
across America and Canada, 13 percent of respondents use Linux
rather than Microsoft or Unix operating systems. This growth was
described as ‘amazing’ following a similar survey in 1997 when
Linux use was so negligible it did not warrant a mention.”
