Linux was Promised as Alternative To Windows
As it shows Linux has become alternative to Maniframe and Other Unix Servers. Who Manages them Nerds. Why its not Killing Windows Desktop even its so Shabby and screwed up software. Because there is not much money in Free OS and Everybody is making Money on FreeOS in Server market. This was dominated by Ultra Expensive Mainframe and Unix Servers for Long time.

Mind you only Unix and Linux NERD Administrators is so pumped up with this news. Read other posts that nothing is mentioned about other 75% server market.
