There is a problem. Sit down at a desktop and one sees
what's on that desktop; chances are, it's Microsoft
Windows. Who's the gatekeeper here?
Nor is it clear that Linux is dominant in the server arena;
the general indications suggest Apache is doing well (60%,
though it's share is slowly declining as Microsoft tries
to make inroads with its 30.78% share as of January 2007).
However, Apache is not Linux, though many Apache servers
are running on Linux servers. The breakdown at the web
survey, however, is by daemon, not OS (the term "Microsoft",
of course, presumably really means "IIS").
Apparently Microsoft is still playing some games in
this space, though; GoDaddy and Windows Live Spaces are
prominently mentioned.

Linux. Because it's there and it works.
Windows. It's there, but does it work?
