"Windows' enterprise adoption declined in 2007, with the gains going to Linux and Mac OS. Vista is a bust. Forrester published the data on Thursday, but only released it publicly today. Forrester surveyed a whopping 50,000 users at 2,300-plus large to very large enterprises throughout 2007. Windows' enterprise adoption declined 3.7 percent, going from 98.6 percent in January to 94.9 percent in December. Mac OS gained 3 percent, going from 1.2 percent to 4.2 percent in the same time frame. Linux gained 0.5 percent in 2007." A classic case of 'do with it as you please'.

Oh, I guess you mean Ubuntu will thrive so much more when you stuff the menubar with Google ads?
Don't you think the difference between full-fledged desktop operating systems, and web servers or browser apps, is that they're, you know, sort of completely different things?

You know what this poll illustrates...
People don't really want Open Source because it is not fulfilling a need.
The way I look at this is as follows. Apple and Linux both started in the same position (No market share). 10 years later, Apple is gaining mind share. Where's Linux? Still trying to figure out which direction it needs to go to get out of the gate.
I think this says quite a bit about Linux, not Open Source. And in particular it says the Linux people better start getting their heads out of their butts.
They need to start looking at the Mozilla, or Apache Open Source models. Mozilla was left for dead and it actually came back and is thriving... That says quite a bit.
