I agree completely with tuxfan, the article is very optimistic and quite unrealistic, to be frank. There can well be a gradual increase in linux users over the years, but not anything as drastic as the article says. Considering the number of organisations still with Windows NT or proprietory Unix'es, migration takes a long time.

But one is getting tired of threads which inevitably turn into linux vs windows debates

Linux charges for the support on its Server OS's. What you get with Digit is not the full version of this Linux Servers. Even you decide to install from the Digit CD's you will still need to purchase the Linux support Services to keep your server running 24/7.
Thank you for your info, sir, and I will continue using slackware/arch as a server for free ... oh but thats illegal as according to you, you need to pay to run linux 24x7 :roll:

They are more smart then you think they are, did you ever read the GPL or any opensource software EULA ? It stir clear of this issues by simply saying they are opensource and so this issues are irrelevant . Is it really irrelevant to the Company who runs a critical server ? where all the critical data is stored about the company is up for everyone to see because the company does not have any intelectual property rights on its own data ?
Are you even aware of what you are saying :roll: ? Google is one site running linux for their servers, please do show me all their critical data

For example : Linux violets Intelactual Property Rights. Now I hope you know what that is.

Linux violets many industry patents.

No privacy with Linux.
Fear, Uncertainity, Doubt
