If Linux server adoption is slowing, then my name is Steve Ballmer
In early September, global financial firm UBS released the survey results of its quarterly snapshot of CIOs, and the numbers were not good for Linux – or were they?Entitled “CIO Pulse: A Quarterly Snapshot of IT Trends”, the report suggested that Linux adoption on the server was slowing significantly. According to the report, which surveyed “more than 60 CIOs,” 90% of respondents that are not using Linux today would not deploy that operating system in 2007.The number is up 3% since January when UBS asked participants the same question, and is significantly higher than the 60% number seen in 2006. It all adds up to a seemingly downward trend for Linux, but is the honeymoon officially over?
Not just yet, according to a conflicting report released by Westport, Conn.-based Saugatuck Research this week.
“Though the UBS research is sound, the data as reported do not indicate the true health and growth of Linux — and of open source operating systems in general,” said the report’s author and Saugatuck Technology managing director, Bruce Guptill.
