I work for a U.S. Fortune 100 company.
We've bought a lot of Sun equipment in
the past, but that's changing. For
example, CAD (design) and CAE (engineering)
workstations are being replaced with
Windows boxes or dual-boot Linux boxes.
Our file servers are being replaced by
service companies renting us storage.

I'd be really interested in hearing
if this is happening other places.

The only glimmer of hope I have that
we're not going to become all Windows
is IBM. Some of our application servers
may become Linux IBM servers.

Long term I think Microsoft is in trouble
from Free Software. What could be lower
than Linux? ;)
