Time to upgrade open source perceptions of Gartner
,----[ Quote ]
| This resulted in some suggesting that
| Gartner's research was simply a reflection
| of which companies paid it the most money
| (and recently netted the analyst firm a
| lawsuit).
|
| I made similar accusations myself.
|
| Gartner responded to such attacks,
| defending the integrity of its research.
| Yet its blind spot to open source seemed to
| persist.

Why IDC-Novell survey is a dud
,----[ Quote ]
| The conclusion reached by IDC is quite simple: companies that are already
| using Linux are deploying more of the free operating system as times become
| tough. Period. Even a gun for hire cannot come up with something more
| pleasing to the ears of the sponsor of a survey.
|
| [...]
|
| Here's IDC again: "The economic downturn of 2009 will be a demarcation line
| that is likely to highlight an acceleration toward adoption of standardized
| (sic) architecture across the industry. The standardization (sic) layers will
| include standardized (sic) blade chassis, x86 servers, Linux, and
| virtualization (sic) software."
|
| But this was exactly what has been happening ever since the start of the
| millennium. Linux on commodity hardware has been dominating the server
| space - we don't need IDC to tell us that. The trend has never varied.
|
| So where is the story?
