Story: Linux firms rubbish Microsoft's customer win
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 25 March 2005, 1:48 PM)
"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.
