Nick McGrath, Microsoft's head of platform strategy, is at the spearhead of the software giant's attempts to head off the open source danger. Having helped launched both NT4 and XP into the UK, the 15-year Microsoft veteran now concentrates on combating the threat posed by organisations migrating to Linux. But, with an almost mockingly dismissive opinion of the opportunities brought about by Linux, McGrath is insistent that Microsoft is not losing ground. Instead he claims that Microsoft is winning key corporate and public sector deals on the critical battlegrounds of cost and security.

//The so called #1 distro on distrowatch generates only 2400 hits a day?//
2624 Hits per day on Distrowatch.
Distrowatch being strictly a site to find out information about the latest Linux/BSD et al distributions. If one had already decided to go with the foremost Linux distribution (Ubuntu) or indeed the next-most-popular (OpenSuSe), one would not need to go to Distrowatch at all.
Practically no hits per day at all for Windows on that site, BTW.
//How many for Windows? 50,000? 500,000? //
Err, no. So few hits in fact for Windows it doesn't even appear in the top 100 list on Distrowatch. This could perhaps be due to the fact that you can't download a Windows install CD quite as easily as other OSes on Distrowatch.
