| Among the most significant trends unearthed by Alfresco is that open-source 
| software does not exist in a silo but is typically blended with, and even 
| resides on, proprietary software. For example, when Alfresco asked about 
| evaluation, 40 per cent of respondents said they used Windows to road-test 
| the software, compared with 35 per cent on Linux. This is in spite of the 
| fact that many more actual deployments are on Linux than on Windows.
