Why is Windows still the most used server OS if Linux is cle

That's 200 sample size from 2014 try harder pajeet. Windows is like 1/500 of the top 500 supercomputers.

You might wanna try this any day: http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm

Also read up on square roots, they really bring numbers down a lot.

>Windows is like 1/500 of the top 500 supercomputers.
Supercomputers are a totally different market.

One could also mention how Linux is 1/1000th of the Desktop market. But that's totally irrelevant.

Not to mention the top 500 supercomputers only don't use Windows due to licensing issues: Microsoft doesn't really provide specific licensing schemes for the massive amount of cores those machines have.

But I have worked with scientific computing, both in universities and in operations research, and your everyday number cruncher has a pretty high chance of being a Windows machine.

So there. Nice try though, Pajeet.

Linux absolutely unequivocally BTFO

As if any of you fuckers have access to one. They are a niche market which <1% of total user base.

Because the average sysadming is a retard.
I mean, Denuvo, the company that specializes in videogame DRM, had email logs in a publicly accessible """hidden""" directory of their own website.

I bet this random anonymous shitposter from an online Crimean matryoshka imageboard is much brighter than the average sysadmin.

Active directory, and cost savings if you are already buying a ton of windows works station licenses.

Most small/medium offices use active directory. Linux is used where its needed, and those who set it up know when its necessary.

Must devices on the web are linux based

This never happens, unless you are working on a masters degree or PhD you won't even know your school has one.

Red Hat and OpenSUSE (SLES or OpenSUSE LEAP) are the only viable Linux distros out there for corporate use. Everything else is just a glorified kiddie toy.

If you really want UNIX because something must absolutely not fail, follow NASA's example: throw Linux and go with actual UNIX, Sun's Solaris, which is actually real SVR4 UNIX.

It's not as "cute" as Linux, but it's as bulletproof as computing gets. A Solaris vs Linux kernel code comparison reveals Linux is a sloppy, bloated mess even acknowledged by L. Torvalds.

1) 330 "businesses" with no distinction on what constitutes a business in this context; do workstations running win server for active directory count?
2) states Linux is clearly dominant outside of "enterprise data centres"
3) "enterprise data centres" with no distinction again, see 1)

Nobody is disputing that businesses with active directory have a high windows install base, nobody is disputing that Linux is king on web, op's link certainly isn't disputing that, leaving op's post being dishonest trying to equate enterprise data centers with "server OS"

No wonder pajeets can't program for shit if basic maths eludes them :^)

Supercomputers need a scalable and customizable system. The only thing that could compete with Linux there is Solaris and its cousins.
>1/1000th of the Desktop market
Your math is amusing especially after you mention statistics.

MINIMUM EFFORT

>>58821060
Who cares? A lot of deployments are legacy and WS does have it's uses like AD.
The amount of issues and the lack of support for them is really high. They are mostly there because companies may not have competent Linux sysadmins or some functionality cannot be replicated.

You're thinking of just the application host sense. AD Management is a really big thing, and AD is proprietary. So...

Windows server is ok for intranet. Anybody using it to host a site on the internet is a retard.

>>58821981
As if.
Solaris got recently murdered by Oracle, who fired the majority of people working on it. The only remaining SVR4 systems are AIX and HP-UX.
And Torvalds never compared Linux and Solaris code quality. That was Con Kolivas, an ex-Linux developer.

The small company I work in has all servers Windows based. The admin said that when the first servers were being installed 10-15 years ago, Linux wasn't on par with what MS could offer. Now the situation is very different, there are big issues with MS licensing, but the whole network is running Windows so there is no turning back.
