Before everyone goes to arms over the title, consider this: Linux options are much more than just the desktop environment. Linux remains largely entrenched in the server realm, along with substantial growth in the mobile markets as well. The big question that remains is why we are seeing this? Over the past few months, I have seen ample speculation bouncing back and forth as to where the attraction is with other projects, and after some searching, it appears that the answer is not what you might think.
I haven't managed to look at the survey itself: Evans Data wants a lot of Franklins for it.
Back in the late 80s, there was a persistent rumor that companies that had a Microsoft and a Mac version of a given product would force their developers to do the Windows version first, because otherwise, they'd just get the Mac version and then procrastinate on crappy Windows or DOS development. In light of the Findings of Fact in the anti-trust trial, this rumor was probably false, but still, it reminds us of how bad Windows development really is.
To sum up: the article is a bunch of Balloon Juice from a Windows Fanboy.
