If our running a business you use windows. Maybe you have a single task oriented server somewhere that you can dedicate to linux. Maybe you have a few of these. But for the business (clients and general personnel) as a whole, you are using Windows.
This article is misleading. Linux is not the most popular operating system. Linux is the most popular development platform. This is not a surprise. I’ve been working in IT for 20+ years, and I’ve never seen node.js or JBoss running in Windows. Windows Server, for development, is dedicated to .NET. There’s too much fumbling with IIS necessary to not only get Javascript running stable but SECURE. Linux is a better option.
In my 20 years, aside from the early years with Novell Netware, I’ve not worked in an environment where Windows Server wasn’t the preferred infrastructure back end. Active Directory is hands down the best LDAP solution out there.
Excellent point!
