A recent article from eWeek reports that Linux users are going backwards to the Windows OS. While I find this to be a bit strange, the article is referring to enterprise situations specifically. Apparently the companies that did revert back felt that Linux was simply not robust enough to meet their needs.
As Microsoft Corp. has acknowledged more than once, the company is losing business to Linux deployments. But the story doesn’t end there. Some large enterprises have taken the Linux challenge only to switch back to Windows, dissatisfied with the open-source alternative.
Problems with application incompatibilities, poor performance, escalating support costs and an immature Linux ecosystem lead the list of complaints executives at two companies that have completed the switch from Linux back to Windows cited recently.
