No wonder so many IT professionals have set up a second partition with a
Linux distribution... they know they must practice/evolve in order to
survive in this market.
They must also make the transition whether they like it or now. Just look at
our resident troll HQ, who happens to work in Germany... he identifies a
feature as a bug, not realising that software fails on him as part of the
Dick-Jerk Detection algorithm.
IBM's Power Architecture Attracting More Linux Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM makes less revenue on servers sold with Linux, compared to
| those that ship with one if its commercial operating systems --
| such as AIX or OS 400 -- but that's offset by the company's
| growing Linux support practice. Linux compatibility also makes
| the company's servers accessible to a wider variety of users,
| such as educational institutions on limited budgets. "We
| benefit from the wider ecosystem that Linux is a part of,"
| says Jollans.

Developers Embrace Java, Drop Visual Basic
,----[ Quote ]
| Use of Visual Basic has dropped 35% since the spring, says a
| poll of more than 430 North American developers done by research
| company Evans Data.
|
| [...]
|
| Developers have abandoned Microsoft's Visual Basic in droves
| during the last six months, and they're using Java more than any
| other development language, according to a recently published
| survey.

Study: Developers Favor Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| "Regardless of what kind of developer you are, you're still trying to
| make a living, and target the operating system that?s controlling the
| market."
|
| However, in the most recent survey, the developers' forecast of their
| target platform has changed. For the first time, these developers said
| that in the next 12 to 18 months they expect to be developing more Linux
| apps than Windows apps.

How many Microsofties does it take to implement the Off menu?
,----[ Quote ]
| Every piece of evidence I've heard from developers inside Microsoft
| supports my theory that the company has become completely tangled up in
| bureaucracy, layers of management, meetings ad infinitum, and
| overstaffing. The only way Microsoft has managed to hire so many people
| has been by lowering their hiring standards significantly...
