  Mid-Sized Companies Not Interested in Linux - Microsoft Still Dominates, Study Says
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Yahoo News | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Most mid-sized enterprises are simply not interested in Linux, according to a recent study by Info-Tech Research Group, a leading technology research firm. A tiny 10 percent of mid-sized enterprises plan to evaluate Linux within the next three years and only a portion of these will actually adopt it. "Just 27 percent of mid-sized companies currently have Linux installed and almost half of the respondents said they have no interest in Linux. The Linux advance into this market has stalled," says Frank Koelsch, Executive Vice President of Info-Tech Research Group. "Microsoft still dominates this market and is the clear leader for mid-sized companies," he adds. "Linux was initially hot, but interest has substantially declined. Companies are past the hype and taking a much more cautious approach towards Linux."
