windows vs linux

Does anyone know the market share of these two operating systems in regard to servers online.
Im thinking linux is bigger but I maybe wrong.

**NETGEEK** · 03-24-2005, 07:56 PM

I would tend to lean the same way. If I had to guess I would say 60 -70% linux.

**channelmaster** · 04-13-2005, 03:27 PM

... that's a difficult question. I would say in the category of webservers linux is bigger - I would also say about 60% ... because there're still a lot of expensive unix servers online

**jojoyohan** · 04-13-2005, 04:30 PM

I'm suprised. I'd expect at least 80% to linux. Everything just works better. cPanel, scripts, everything. Its also a better operating system for home use too.

My educated guess, 75% linux, 15% windows, 10% unix

Microsoft cant be using Apache, they use asp.net, and only that framework is availiable on Windows servers.

linux

i guess

but

that depends on what's the difference

**bbalegere** · 08-24-2006, 09:49 AM

linux is the biggest.

I think Window has a lot of security and convenient applications as well as more compatible, but cost a lot! (small but more security and service)

I used to use Linux but a lot of peoples know about .php etc, so I am not sure the security of Linux, compatible,but cheap. (big but less security and service)
