,----[ Quote ]
| How important is Linux and move to open-source environments?
|
| Growth of Linux went faster than anyone thought it would. For us the Linux
| business has grown from zero to $50m in 24 months. Most of our Linux
| customers originally experimented with free software and then they discovered
| the hidden costs.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012
,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.
|
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
