Results of 2007 Desktop Linux survey

http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8454912761.html

It looks like I'm in the good(or at least popular) side of the forces :)

I use both VMware and Wine, because there's no way to run Visual Studio 2005 in Wine :(
This is like the difference between "MS Outlook" and "MS Outlook express", the 32% of Evolution(the one that I used... now only Gmail web client) is cool because Evolution is more enterprise than Thunderbird, which means that Linux is actually being used in the enterprise, thats good news.
Of course Firefox is the best browser ever, and the version 3.0 is going to be even better.
Long life to GNOME, simply the best Desktop environment.
Ubuntu is just the best overall :), but actually I also use SuSE sometimes... I'm surprised about the 9% of RedHat a big lost.

Remeber, the Survey is about Linux in Desktops. Red Hat for desktps died at version 9.0, 4 years ago.

Now, Red Hat = Fedora. Who is gonna use Red Hat Enterprise Server in his/her desktop? That 9% i think is people still using RH v9 lol.

You are absolutely right, but who cares about Linux in the servers? that's an old already win battle, now the important market is the Desktop, and Ubuntu and SuSE are in a very good position.

Oopss,

i didnt realize "Fedora/Red Hat".

Agree: What a surprise!!!! Who had thought it?

What i mean is: RH would not have to be in the list!

I don't know... I'm a bit confused here... :S ...looking at the 'raw data', Fedora gets 6% and RH polls only 1.4%... that's just a bit over 7%... where the f**k did they get those additional 2% from???

On the other hand, 1/3 of the market share for *buntu is no surprise at all... long live Ubuntu... kill SUSE!!! XDD
