.......... In a conference call Friday, executives from IBM and online research group Peerstone Research said the growth of Microsoft's Windows server operating system will slow as Linux increasingly takes root in the ERP space and, particularly, as commercial Linux distributions incorporating the Linux 2.6 kernel rise in use. Jeff Gould, research director of Peerstone Research, said the survey wasn't paid for or commissioned by IBM.
According to a Peerstone study of 400 installations involving the top three ERP vendors--SAP, PeopleSoft and Oracle--Linux will grow to 15 percent of the ERP installed base by 2007 from 2 percent now.
The integration of the more scalable, multithreaded Linux 2.6 kernel into leading Linux distributions will help drive more enterprise application adoption of the open-source platform, said Adam Jollans...........
