How about the many news articles where "X moves to Linux" whether is a
city in Europe or a school district someplace and then a few months
later you heart that 'they got a deal from Microsoft' to keep Windows?
Those budget decisions are taken by a few people, who are corruptible
or dumb. And the bribe does not have to be obvious, or paid by
Microsoft directly - as an IT director, you'd rather have a big budget
and an army of low-paid MCSEs to keep rebooting and re-imaging the
same rooted boxes than a few experienced but expensive UNIX admins that
can manage the same amount of computing power.
Plus, Linux started when Microsoft was already entrenched and it takes
a while to fall from 95% market penetration. But fall it does, year
by year.
