Microsoft by the Numbers
I don't believe the Linux vs windows server market share numbers.My current company has about 40 linux servers and 3 windows. My previous company had 1 windows server to 5 linux. The one before that was a similar ratio.I'm looking around online to see how IDC collected/calculated this data but
can't see anything that actually says. The only thing I can think of is if
they are taking commercial unixes like redhat and suse and comparing them
against windows. If that is the case these numbers are beyond worthless due to
the fact that most linuxs end up being centos, debian, ubuntu or other free
distros.
