| In the server market, I think that Free Software is popular enough.
| Major systems integrators, such as NEC, Fujitsu, and Hitachi, all
| support GNU/Linux systems, while most major ISPs are heavy users of
| FreeBSD or GNU/Linux. According to a survey on Netcraft, Apache is
| more popular in Japan than the international average.
|
| In the embedded market, GNU/Linux is getting more popular. It is adopted
| for devices, such as network storage, mobile phones, hard disk video
| recorders, MP3 players, and so on.
