I gather these are new systems ordered with Linux, not re-purposed servers or virtual machines. Throw those into the mix and Unix and Windows will likely look a lot worse off.
Where I work we have installed hundreds of Linux servers on VMWare. That would likely not be noted in these statistics. In many cases the business unit requesting the server has their choice of Windows or Linux and often they opt for Linux.
That does not bode well for Microsoft. Both Android and IOS are extremely popular while Windows portable devices are not doing so well. Tablets powered by Android and IOS are eating into the desktop PC market. Linux seems to be slowly taking over the server farm. Windows users are becoming impatient with all of the updates, patches, and emergency fixes that make them wait to sign in. Many users are not happy with Windows 8 and they are looking elsewhere.
One advantage Microsoft servers have over other systems is the graphical interface, which many shops do not run on their Linux servers. Instead of typing strings of commands on a black screen you can click icons and drag and drop things. It is much simpler copying files or reading log files with Windows than with Linux.
So, what is Microsoft doing to encourage people to stick with their server software? They are replacing the GUI with a combination of Metro style tiles and a command line interface. You will have all of the complexity of Linux and none of the advantages of Windows, but without the speed and reliability of Linux.
I am curious about Microsoft Windows. So I have a few questions.
Microsoft Windows needs an antivirus program because it is in danger of getting viruses.
Microsoft Windows also needs anti malware protection, antispyware protection..
Windows needs firewalls to protect from hackers.
Windows needs registry cleaners to clean the registry which gets messed up from installing and uninstalling software.
Windows has a defragmenter for defraging the hard drive which does get pretty bad over time.
Windows also needs a good cleaning program for the hard drive.
Microsoft requires the latest computers to run their latest operating system. The old computers just wont work with the newer Microsoft operating systems. Microsoft requires to much memory and system resources.
Microsoft requires you to constantly install drivers for various hardware.
My question is,
Why would anyone use such a crappy operating system if you need all this garbage just to keep it running?
A better question, why would people actually pay for it?
There are way superior operating systems available for FREE that are open source.
Linux does not need anti virus software because Linux does not get viruses.
Linux does not need a registry cleaner because nothing gets written to the registry when installing software. So there is nothing to clean.
Linux does not need a defragmenter because the Linux hard drive does not become fragmented.
Linux also does not need anti malware, anti spyware or firewalls or hard drive cleaners. Linux does not get that junk into its system and the Linux system is designed so secure that a firewall is not even necessary.
In Linux you dont have to worry about drivers. You plug your hardware in and it works. That's it. Everything works. Webcams, printers, scanners everything. You never need to install drivers because everything you need is already there.
Linux is so system friendly even a 20 year old computer can be brought back to life after installing Linux.
Other than that Linux looks just about the same as Microsoft windows. Its really hard to see the difference. Except you don't have all that other garbage installed that is needed to keep microsoft running.
Unlike Microsoft that cost hundreds of dollars, Linux is free and available all over the internet.
So my question is why are people still dumping money into an inferior operating system when Linux is much better, easier to use, more stable, more secure, and FREE? Is it because they have never tried anything else?
