It is easy to show fast "growth" when you are starting from what is effectively a zero percent usage. Microsoft will ship more copies of Windows 7 this month than there are people who have ever run a non-embedded Linux over the entirety of it's existence. The first ten percent or so of growth is easy, the rest is much harder.
- SamAtt 17y agoEspecially when you're gaining at the expense of a dying competitor. I don't claim to know how much Linux will grow in the future but there's no doubt it's growth over the last 5 years has had a lot to do with Sun collapsing and companies moving away from Solaris. That's a market that's all but dried up at this point.
