Some for others
What about companies that have a good deal going with a company that doesn't sell Linux servers? It'd be easier and cheaper for them to wipe the servers and install Linux than trying to work up a new relationship and get the price lowered with a company selling Linux servers.

Agreed.  nucrash | 02/22/06
No doubt about it  StorageGuru | 02/22/06
Where are the comparatives  nomorems | 02/22/06
The Mac fans attack... (nt)  A_Pickle | 02/21/06
This would be room for UNIX/Linux Fans  nucrash | 02/22/06
Can't think of what to put here  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
Point of Sale?  nucrash | 02/22/06
Thought you meant piece o' s... (nt)  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
More expensive or more units?  Nigel Johnstone | 02/22/06
Dollars, as always  Yagotta B. Kidding | 02/22/06
If we were talking units....  John Carroll ZDNet Moderator | 02/22/06
Your statement is in-correct. It is the typical Unix server that is more  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Either way, Linux is Unix, and the combo beats Windows and  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Well good for em  Boot_Agnostic | 02/22/06
I agree  Shelendrea | 02/22/06
I would agree  nomorems | 02/22/06
Possibly it could be FUD  Boot_Agnostic | 02/24/06
Once again....MISLEADING!  htotten | 02/22/06
RTFA  Fred Fredrickson | 02/22/06
Here is a Point...  nucrash | 02/22/06
Here's the "counter" point:  NetArch. | 02/22/06
None for us  voska | 02/22/06
Some for others  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
Here's where you're wrong. No one buys Windows..  John Zern | 02/22/06
K...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Yes, Linux replaces Unix, primarily...  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
Linux servers growing in popularity  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
... and Unix servers declining, relatively.  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
Still, the sum of Unix + Linux is growing faster than Windows.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
But if you were correct, then  John Zern | 02/22/06
You can have increased sales and still lose market share.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
No, not misleading  marksashton | 02/22/06
Windows is not grabbing any Linux/Unix share  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Preach to the Choir...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Well, OSX is a great OS!! The users I have talked to have NEVER had a virus  DonnieBoy | 02/23/06
Windows bumps Unix as top server OS  Loverock Davidson | 02/22/06
Windows not winning  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
In your own words  Loverock Davidson | 02/22/06
Only if you look at one statistic  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
I did...  nomorems | 02/22/06
With the exception  Loverock Davidson | 02/22/06
No exception.  nomorems | 02/22/06
Being #1 means nothing  voska | 02/22/06
Says you  Loverock Davidson | 02/22/06
Yup, says me and anyone else wanting to make money  voska | 02/22/06
In a sense, you're right.  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
I'm betting UNIX does  voska | 02/22/06
Windows is tiring and there's a lot of fighting left to do  buzzl | 02/22/06
Playing with percentages  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
Let's follow that trend.  thunderdome1 | 02/22/06
Why should the percentage continue?  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
They are continuing  thunderdome1 | 02/23/06
You have to remember though...  ju1ce | 02/23/06
Linux and UNIX  Loverock Davidson | 02/22/06
How ironic  buzzl | 02/22/06
Then how come investors...  John Zern | 02/22/06
Wrong assumption  buzzl | 02/22/06
I would give MS the #1 spot if it were true...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Depends what you count.  Gregory.J.Bradley@... | 02/22/06
Actually...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Absolutely incorrect numbers?  Anon_ymous | 02/22/06
so.....  Shelendrea | 02/22/06
Divide and Conquer  Yagotta B. Kidding | 02/22/06
Excellent point!  buzzl | 02/22/06
Spin anyway you want, MS is the new leader.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Yes.  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
It is a common flaw in zealots  NonZealot | 02/22/06
Spoken Like A True Hypocrite  itanalyst | 02/22/06
Message has been deleted.  5th Limb in the Kisser | 02/22/06
joking or not  Shelendrea | 02/22/06
Message has been deleted.  nomorems | 02/22/06
Shelendrea  nomorems | 02/22/06
Yes, I use multiple platforms. That changes nothing in this report.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
But you are a zealot for MS, period!  nomorems | 02/22/06
Aw, if you got no argument, attack the person.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
What attack?  nomorems | 02/22/06
Every post you make is an attack...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Once again  nomorems | 02/22/06
Just following your  Linux User 147560 | 02/22/06
Yeah, gouging "IT professionals" with second rate shite!  5th Limb in the Kisser | 02/22/06
Unlike you, pros know what they are doing...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Not true...  nomorems | 02/22/06
And how much do you make a year as a consultant...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Oh, that's right...  nomorems | 02/22/06
After tax or before?  Linux User 147560 | 02/22/06
You have it all figured out, I see  John Zern | 02/22/06
Nope.  nomorems | 02/22/06
Spin any way you want, Linux+Unix beats Windows.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
You are talking about history, the future is Windows.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Hmmm..  nomorems | 02/22/06
You really need to work on your personal attacks...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Don't know why you insist I am attacking you...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Whoa, here just wait a second  voska | 02/22/06
Whoa, read a little more...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Hey No_Ax, good one!  NonZealot | 02/22/06
Didn't mean to, they are just sooooo easy.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
I always like to point out the shill  nomorems | 02/22/06
I am talking today, Linux+Unix beats Windows, any way you spin it.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Windows and Apple beat Linux. So what?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Better Apple/Linux/Unix beat Windows. They are all Unix based.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
CAGR  Yagotta B. Kidding | 02/22/06
Windows is not the future  thunderdome1 | 02/23/06
Talk about "spinning" DB's turning blue!  John Zern | 02/22/06
Not true, Linux and Solaris run better than Windows on the same hardware.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Message has been deleted.  5th Limb in the Kisser | 02/22/06
you have to  Shelendrea | 02/22/06
Don't worry..  nomorems | 02/22/06
Unix admins  IT Scion | 02/22/06
Duplicate key  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Mine just says "Null" ...  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
They need to move to a Windows server and use Front Page  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Thought it was only me  NonZealot | 02/22/06
Must have had a powerful message...  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
Wow. You're a published Author!  John Zern | 02/22/06
Google fails.  Anton Philidor | 02/22/06
Where is the meaningful statistic?  Update victim | 02/22/06
Well, there is no way to determine how much usefull work is currently done  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
So you are saying LAMP = 80% of all hacked sites.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Don't you ever get tired of reading all of your  nomorems | 02/22/06
Dude, read the article, the market DID decide.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Yes, the market decided, and Linux is growing much faster than anything  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Sorry but your math is fubar.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
No, the math is correct. Linux+Unix beats Windows, AND, Linux is growing so  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Me, a zealot ?  nomorems | 02/22/06
The topic here is market share, why are you trying to switch topics??  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
YOU were the one that brought up LAMP, not me.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
YOU were the one that brought up LAMP, not DonnieBoy.  nomorems | 02/22/06
Actually, alot of MS servers do run Apache  John Zern | 02/22/06
An interesting thing would be to instrument a random sample of desktops  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
You make the point that Apache is the most hacked on the planet.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Apache is much safer than IIS. The chance of a successfull exploit against  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Not according to the stats...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
Ok, so give us the HARD facts on actual exploits.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Do your home work DB...  No_Ax_to_Grind | 02/22/06
What users care about is the probability that THEIR server will be hacked.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
Pretty sad, isn't it No_Ax.  nomorems | 02/22/06
Do your maths homework No_Ax_to_Grind  thunderdome1 | 02/23/06
Technicly, IIS is free  John Zern | 02/22/06
The fries and drink are free with a value meal too.  DonnieBoy | 02/22/06
At least Windows is a VALUE...  Narg | 02/22/06
We were talking about web servers  thunderdome1 | 02/23/06
Linux is cheaper to aquire, and Linux administrators can administer more  DonnieBoy | 02/23/06
So what ?  michael_t | 02/22/06
That's Sales Numbers, Not Number of Machines!!!  Narg | 02/22/06
No, you lose (notice the correct spelling).  thunderdome1 | 02/23/06
TCO  cmschube | 02/22/06
Once upon a time  Gregory.J.Bradley@... | 02/22/06
Actually...  nomorems | 02/22/06
Although in some ways I agree....  ju1ce | 02/23/06
Instigating a Flame-War  Your Mom 2.0 | 02/23/06
I wonder if they do it purposely...  el1jones | 02/23/06
of course  High Sierra | 02/23/06
THE BIG QUESTION!!!  SC-man | 02/23/06
We operate in a heterogenous world  Nobody_really | 02/23/06
