Interesting survey results...

(Extract from a Sun blog:)

An [interesting survey][1] shows that the _"Most popular OS amongst top 100 universities is: Sun Solaris"_. It says: 

   Exact number of universities using:



     1. Sun Solaris (7/8/9): 47

     2. Linux: 31

     3. FreeBSD: 6

     4. Microsoft Windows 2000: 5

     5. Compaq Tru64 UNIX: 2

     6. Microsoft Windows Server 2003: 2

     7. IBM AIX: 2

     8. Microsoft Windows NT/98: 1

     9. BSD/OS: 1

     10. Unknown: 3

Its really great to see that Solaris is top banana in the University world! And can only be on the increase as more of OpenSolaris becomes available to the public; thus spawning a new generation of university R&D projects.

(Err... "Unknown:3"? I wonder who they asked... ;-) )
