"On Monday Microsoft announced that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) had replaced its Linux Web server with a Windows alternative to save costs and improve its Web offering."

Later in the article it is stated that the RICS had decided to bring the Web Server in-house instead of contracting the service.

So, their web server was once in the hands of professionals and they chose Linux. When they brought the service in-house, the amateurs selected Windows because that is all they knew and were locked in by M$.

Extrapolating from this, when you know what you are doing, and have a choice, if you are smart you choose Linux.

'Nuff Said.

Thanks you for your time.
