These guys really seem to think anyone who uses linux is an idiot http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/939225-excuses-for-not-using-linux-invalid?page=13#entry-4620666
Wow, just, wow. They used to filter out the non-IT pros. Guess that's not going on so much anymore. Linux is 5% of the market? Ha.
latest I've seen is about 26% of all OSes are *nix while just 14% is windows.

That's only 40%! What would the rest be?

48% Android, 12% iOS/Mac OS. I can't believe there is more android devices than computers haha.

Switching my hat from "assistant collections officer" to "Sales Manager", and then to "Chief Marketing Officer"

Oh, those are all Unix, though. iOS, Android, Mac OSX, ChromeOS, etc. are all Linux and BSD systems.

Hey how are you doing? Haven't seen you around in a while.

@scottalanmiller .... We are very busy. We launched a new web site last week (still adding content daily) and opened an office in Atlanta (official announcement is next week). We are also launching our own bundled service package for SMBs that addresses different needs for cloud/hosted managed file services (first set of packages based on GAFW, others to follow).
We received some partner growth funding from Google via their Lending Club partnership, so our staff has grown as we expand or SMB market efforts and move aggressively into local government.
And, sometimes, I sleep.

The world is pretty much UNIX and Windows these days. Now that the Windows phones are part of the Windows codebase the last OSes of any standing at all that aren't one of the big two families are IBM i, IBM z and VMS. There are some hobby ones out there, but that's pretty much it outside of a few rare things in the embedded space.
-
Of UNIX, Linux is the 800lbs gorilla these days. Linux and BSD families are nearly everything with Solaris, AIX and to a less extend HP-UX having a place just in the big enterprise server space.

I didn't realize iOS was unix. I thought it was from scratch. But looks like it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

Yup, it's from a portion of the Mac OSX code base. They diverge but share a lot. There is heavy speculation that they intend to eventually merge the two.
Hypervisors (except for KVM) use their own code, but aren't really OSes.

And speculation that ESXi is using open source code but not telling. Law suit was filed.

They should, just like Windows - with luck, both platforms will be able to share many of the same applications.
The fact that they didn't was something I never understood - why wasn't there an iPhone emulator on the Mac so you could use the iPhone apps there.

What they have done with the notes app running on Mac OS is pretty crappy and doesn't feel like the right experience. Just tossed in. Hopefully they do better if the merge it.

Using a tiny bit and just speculation. Even if the accusations turn out to be true, it doesn't mean that there is UNIX under there, just tainted code.

I unsubscribed a bit ago. No point in trying to help the trolls.
-
Yeah I'm giving up.
-
It's really shocking some of the stuff that people are willing to publicly publish about their work decisions or their lack of knowledge. How hard would it be for an MSP to figure out what company some of those people are with and discuss with their management how they are getting screwed by unscrupulous staff.
-
Who then brag online about the ways that they hurt their employer as if it is a mark of pride.
