Vejam s� esta entrevista com Dan Kusnetsky, respeitado analista do igualmente respeitado instituto de pesquisa de mercado de tecnologia, o IDC. 1/3, vejam bem, 33% das vendas de Linux s�o para o desktop e 30% s�o para o que o IDC chama de "servstations", esta��es de trabalho parrudas em que s� uma pessoa trabalha, mas a carga de processamento � igual a de um grupo de trabalho. Portanto, de tudo o que se vende de Linux, 63% vai para o desktop. In�meros "big shots" j� falaram que o Linux n�o � vi�vel no desktop, mas os n�meros e o movimento das massas desmentem descaradamente essa teoria absurda. http://slashdot.org/interviews/01/06/21/154203.shtml Linux, as observed in a recent study (December 2000, N=1583 North American and Western European respondents), appears to have a different usage pattern now than seen in earlier studies. This recent survey showed that just over a third of Linux shipments were used as client operating environments, roughly a third of Linux shipments were used as server operating environments, and just under 30% of Linux shipments were used on a workstation which supported the workload of a single person and provided some service to a workgroup. We're calling that new category "Serverstations." For historical purposes, Serverstations are currently allocated across client and server operating environment shipment totals. IDC will be publishing data on each of these categories in the near future.
