For better or worse, UNIX has won on embedded and server room.
I think this is the HN bubble at work. Maybe you mean something qualitatively or quantitatively different than I do when you say server room but every client I've worked with in my extremely conservative industry in the past ten years has been running on site, coloc, or cloud "server rooms" on windows.
- pjmlp 2y agoNo, this the cloud speaking, where Microsoft themselves acknowledge Azure has > 60% workloads on Linux. On embedded most RTOS support some variation of POSIX, even if not fully compliant. Windows servers seem to be left to Microsoft shops, running a mix of .NET Framework with IIS, SQL Server, Sitecore, Sharepoint, Dynamics, AD.
- devjab 2y agoI’ve spent a long time in non tech enterprise and I think unix won. 15 years ago you would hire someone and they would be proficient in Windows and Microsoft office. Now people have grown up with Macbooks, Chromebooks and mobile/tablets. It’s not a major issue yet, but it’s increasingly becoming one as the generations in the workplace are slowly shifting.
