And that was a bizarre assumption!
I have no idea why they didn't survey actual users.

There is another study, the link is at home, unfortunately, that has a single administrator servicing about 10 Windows servers or 20-30 *nux servers. Our experience was slightly better, maybe because our farm was so large; about 12 Windows, >30 *nix.

But certainly if you scew the data the way these people did, you can manipulate any outcome you want.

This IDE stuff is getting publicity, and it is not the kind MS wants - but more of what they bring on themselves.
