| How important is Linux and move to open-source environments?
| 
| Growth of Linux went faster than anyone thought it would. For us the Linux 
| business has grown from zero to $50m in 24 months. Most of our Linux 
| customers originally experimented with free software and then they discovered 
| the hidden costs.

Linux Market to Triple by 2012

,----[ Quote ]
| Analyst firm Research and Markets has just put out a project on Linux-based 
| server and client hardware sales, and is projecting that the market will more 
| than triple between 2007 and 2012.  
| 
| A market for a platform is not the same as an ecosystem for it, which is much 
| larger in that it includes the cost of people and third-party software and 
| services for the code that runs atop the platform. So the R&M Linux market 
| numbers might seem a little small. In any event, the consultancy pegged the 
| Linux product and services market for Linux running on servers and clients 
| (but not embedded systems) at $2.4 billion in 2007.
