| As Linux advances, Microsoft alters message to customers |
|---|
... Meta Group maintains that based on its projections for Linux growth -- from today's roughly 15 percent to as much as 45 percent of the market for new servers by 2006 or 2007 -- that Microsoft won't be able to resist the potential profits it could make.
Microsoft disagrees that Linux will be able to capture such a big share. And it also commissioned a study by International Data Corp. that argues the total cost of ownership of Linux-based computer servers that handle certain tasks is actually higher than Microsoft Windows 2000 server software. The reason? Largely because of the extra technical support needed to maintain a Linux system, the report says.
