ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft made strides among customers this year in improving the image of Windows servers against Linux servers on security, quality, performance and reliability, according to a new independent study.
The Yankee Group report, "Linux-Windows 2005 TCO Comparison Survey," is based on a March poll of 509 organizations spanning North American vertical markets and government agencies.
According to the poll, 88 percent of respondents reported that the quality, performance and reliability of Windows was equal to or better than Linux. That figure is up 12 percentage points from last year's finding of 76 percent.
