    Linux Servers Switch to Windows 2003

    Just found it interesting and thought I'd share it with people like Cloud9 and Urban Ranger who would have you believe Linux is on its way to taking over the world.

    Windows Server 2003 approaching 100,000 active sites; 8,000 sites switch from Linux

    When we first reported on Windows Server 2003 we gave an indication on the numbers of sites that had been put up prior to the official launch. In the three months since the launch the number of active sites has increased by over 300% and now stands at 88,400.

    Over the past 3 months many new hosting providers have released Windows Server 2003 hosting packages. Myhosting.com is now the top hoster of active Windows Server 2003 sites, and apparently has stopped offering Windows Server 2000 and Microsoft-IIS/5.0 to new customers, inisisting that they should run Microsoft-IIS/6.0.

    Comparing the sites which are now hosted on Windows 2003 with their operating system in December 2002 shows over 42% of these to be new sites, 43% (68K) to be upgrades from other Windows platforms (mainly Windows 2000), 5% (8K) to be migrations from Linux and 1% from other operating systems.

    Microsoft will take some considerable encouragement at the number of sites that have switched from Linux.


    Also of interest: It is four times cheaper to develop for Windows devices than Linux devices.

      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

            I know that the development costs for an individual to develop for Linux are virtually nil because gcc and emacs are both free and so are most of the development libraries. I don't know how much it would cost a company though.

                          Windows 2003 = Windows Server 2003.

                          It's the server OS, the successor to Windows 2000 Server.
