Survey reports open-source will lead the way by decade's end.
A survey being compiled by Saugatuck Research so far shows that open-source technologies will achieve high-penetration rates across the entire core software stack by 2010. More specifically, the survey, "IT Trends and Directions," reveals that open-source operating systems, development tools such as Eclipse, and application servers such as Apache will lead the way in market penetration by the end of the decade, with 28.2 percent, 28.0 percent and 25.6 percent, respectively.
We will never know unless we see how things develop during the next couple years. I have a hunch that Linux will be flourishing quite faster than that. Or may be it is a hopeful thinking.
If we took a snapshot of where Linux was every year for the last 5 years we would probably see progress somewhere along the lines of Moore's law.It's more than hopeful thinking.We'll see way more next year and way more the year after that.Part of the problem is probably us.We think it should be going faster than it is.Human nature just isn't that patient.And we are,after all,just human.
