March 2013 Web
Server Survey
Around 70% of web servers
use free software. Besides the second position of Microsoft IIS web
server is in risk in the following months by nginx, perhaps the
future competitor of all powerfull Apache web server.
Desktop Browser
This nitche is pretty
stable with few changes in the last 2 years. Free software are only
around 23%, perhaps the reason has relation with desktop operating
system.
Mobile/Tablet
Browser
No many change in the case
of Mobile/Tablet, only 20,73% user free software. Althought this
figures are different if we analyse only mobiles, since Ipad share
distorts the numbers.
Worldwide
Smartphone Sales to End Users
In the smartphone
operating system (OS) market, Android continued to increase its lead,
with nearly 50 percent more Android smartphones in the market than a
year ago. And it is important to note that new operating system has
appeared, Firefox OS.
Desktop
Operating System
The same history again and
again, GNU/Linux did not know the way to increase its share in this
market. But the thing could change with Android OS in tablet, for
example, Ubuntu closes first bug “ Microsoft's
computing dominance” with the comment
of the bug report:"Android
may not be my or your first choice of Linux, but it is without doubt
an open source platform that offers both practical and economic
benefits to users and industry." Maybe the
first step for a change.
Open source
communities
Here we can see a few free
software projects communities size, for instance, Windows 7 has a
total of 920 developers.
Industries
Adopting Open Source
Government should be
leading the way.
Linux adoption
growing to suport cloud & Mission-Critical workloads
