Another good article on Phonomenon LINUX... Linux at the Gates of Redmond it-analysis.com When surveyed, customers rank Linux ahead of Microsoft Windows NT for interoperability, robustness, availability and value for money. Linux also scores very highly for support, although this should not be surprising. In reality there are more developers supporting it than any other operating system ? a direct consequence of it being open source. We are now even beginning to see sites moving applications from Windows NT to Linux. The success of Linux should not surprise us, but it does because it has happened without any marketing investment from anyone. Linux was always growing but very few people called attention to it until its growth became rapid. It won 17 percent of the server market last year according to IDC and it may well become the dominant server platform this year. It may also begin to make a significant impact on the desktop. Microsoft must be very worried. Tom Watson tosiwmee
