Windows will beat Linux threat, say academics (TechWorld)

TechWorld covers
a study authored by two Harvard faculty members. "The two based
their research on a simplified economic model attempting to recreate the
dynamics of Windows' competition with Linux, where Windows has market share
and profitability on its side, while Linux benefits from a faster
development cycle and lower cost. Casadesus-Masanell and Ghemawat found,
to their surprise, that Linux's advantages by themselves didn't mean Linux
would ultimately oust Windows, because of Windows' initially dominant
market share."
