Windows Server 2003 making gains over Linux

But switching headaches appear
Wednesday, 16 July 2003, 17:54
FIGURES FROM NETCRAFT show that Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 is replacing Linux on many servers, making gains that will please Microsofties engaged in a war on the Open Source operating system.

A number of sites were seen to be switching to Server 2003 before its official launch but, in the three months since the launch the number of active sites has increased by over 300 per cent, Netcraft reckons, and now stands at 88,400. And around 6,000 of these have sitched from Linux, as Netcraft shows here.

However, all may not be rosy in the server 2003 garden. Another page at Netcraft reveals that one switcher, gun-maker, Colt.com, looks like it has had to re-boot every day since switching from Linux to Windows Server 2003.

Teething troubles? Sheesh! ยต
