I was hoping the text would link to the report, I know we already knew Linux
had won the server battle, but would be nice to see what else they found. I
just had a quick look on the IBM site, but I suppose a report like this
might be very valuable so they probably keeping most of it to themselves.
83% by next year eh, then the mass increase of Linux desktops in business
due to Vista dropping from a great height into the pig slop and , oh sorry,
