By "server application" I mean things like web servers, ftp servers, application servers, database servers, etc. Not desktop systems at all. I think Linux is currently a big mistake there. If they use commercial operating systems they will have to pay for each connection. With Linux, you can have 4 CPUs and 1,000 live connections and there is no extra cost. It would be stupendously expensive under Windows systems. [snip]
