Linux is Most Used OS in Microsoft Azure – over 50 percent of VM cores
I'm interested to know what the majority of the Windows machines are used for.<p>I can't think it'd be anything other than 'big enterprise' applications, where there seems to be a lot of bespoke stuff built specifically for Windows Server (e.g. finance software, healthcare systems, marriage registration, taxi licensing, nursing home management, etc).<p>Unfortunately this sort of stuff is fairly rare to be available in the open-source world, because there is such little demand for it by individuals.<p>The wackiest one I've come across is a CMS (Crematorium Management System). If anyone wants to create an open-source one with me, please get in touch...!
