Linux to be top Oracle platform within a year (CBR)

Linux to be top Oracle platform within a year (CBR)

As presented, the results are somewhat weird.

There is no mention of version numbers for Linux or Solaris, but Windows 2000 and 2003 are presented as 2 distincts OSes.

I understand that the need to differentiate 2000 and 2003 is driven by the volume of business generated by the migration. There is so much money involved, guessing the migration rate right is critical to many.

Considering the meaning of the numbers, it is impossible to guess the Windows "total": some respondent may use both, but it is impossible to tell how many. I guess this could be found by foraging through the responses, and this might have been done, but I did not see any of this in the article.

It feels wrong to use the results shown to claim a "top platform".
