writes /"For years, Linux has enjoyed much of its success as a 
replacement for Unix. Companies turned to Linux to replace Unix servers, 
or for new deployments within a Unix-heavy environment. Linux is still 
king there, but it's starting to encroach on Microsoft as well. 
<http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/biz-enterprise/370972-set-sights-for-windows-linux-moving-beyond-unix-migration-in-the-enterprise> 
Big companies are planning overwhelmingly (76.4%) to add more Linux 
servers in the next year, and less than half (41.2%) of the companies 
are planning to add Windows servers in the next year. Even more 
interesting, nearly half (43.6%) are actively planning to decrease use 
of Windows servers in the next year."/
