Linux Succeeds Across the Board
,----[ Quote ]
| Combined Linux client and server new license
| (subscription) revenue is growing at a compound
| annual growth rate (CAGR) (2007-2012) of over 19%;
| whereas Windows client and server combined license
| revenue is growing at a CAGR of only 8.7%. When
| examined individually, Linux paid client shipments
| are growing at a CAGR of 15% and Windows client
| shipments are growing at a CAGR of only 8.9%. On the
| server side, paid Linux shipments are growing at a
| CAGR of 9.4% while Windows is growing at a CAGR of
| 7.9%.
|
| Installed base statistics are always interesting to
| examine because they can allow you to predict when
| the Linux installed base will exceed the Windows
| installed base provided certain growth conditions
| hold. The Linux client installed base is growing at
| a CAGR (2007-2012) of 18.6%; whereas, Windows client
| installed base is growing at a 9.9% clip. Linux
| server installed base is growing at a 13.5% rate;
| whereas, Windows server installed base is growing at
| only 8.9%.
