Governments and businesses outside the United States are leading the push to find alternatives to Microsoft for their software needs, according to a report released Tuesday by research company Gartner. The reasons for seeking an alternative include concern over licensing issues, security breaches, and the grassroots power of open-source software, according to Gartner. In the Asia-Pacific region, governments in China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia are encouraging government departments and businesses to replace Microsoft products with a combination of Linux programs, other open-source products, and software from local vendors. | ||

The site www.google.com is running GWS/2.0 on Linux
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/hosted?netname=GOOGLE,216.239.32.0,216.239.63.255 seems like near 100% of the sites hosted on the google netblock run on Linux. This post was edited by tgnb on Thursday, May 15, 2003 at 15:52. |

#3,
If those numbers are based off of Browser version/platform then they are just as bogus as any other data generated from that source. TL |

| The discussion regarding google.com is irrelevant to this article. |
