Reverse Migration: From Linux to Windows | |

As Microsoft Corp. has acknowledged more than once, the company is losing business to Linux deployments. But the story doesn't end there. Some large enterprises have taken the Linux challenge only to switch back to Windows, dissatisfied with the open-source alternative. Problems with application incompatibilities, poor performance, escalating support costs and an immature Linux ecosystem lead the list of complaints executives at two companies that have completed the switch from Linux back to Windows cited recently. Personal care products maker Combe Inc., of White Plains, N.Y., developed and administered its Web sites with an ISP running a Linux-Oracle platform about nine years ago and started the switch back to Windows two years ago. "We will not be looking at Linux in the near future," said Combe CIO Tim Case. "Even though [Linux] has moved into the realm of a production-level system and may become a competitor to Microsoft, that is just not the case where global support and robust development are required." | ||
