[NTLUG:Discuss] Interesting story quote

[Bug Hunter]

  As I read the story,  30% of corporations are using linux, 
assuming that mainframe computer people would not necessarily use "low end 
servers."

  Best case, 56% of the people polled use linux.

  Absolute minimum, 19% are using Linux.  12% on the desktop.

"Linux will not take away market share from Microsoft in its traditional 
markets," the report added. 
"However, it is our view that it will hamper the movement of Windows into 
the enterprise data centre, an area Microsoft has only recently begun to 
target for growth."

The survey was conducted among 100 corporate technology departments. It 
found that 19 were using Linux in low-end servers, 14 to support databases 
and 11 had deployed it on mainframe computers. Twelve per cent had rolled 
out Linux on the desktop.

The companies polled said that security, reliability and a good 
price/performance ratio had been the main reasons for Linux adoption.
