So, if among Windows and Linux servers half servers are identified as Windows Servers and the other half as Linux ones then that in my book is a pretty good estimate of number of windows vs linux servers in the public domain.
You must be referring to a coloring book then...because the more you post, the more it seems like the sharpest writing utensil you're allowed to use is a crayon.
You said:
...You claimed .Net is not relevant anymore when half the websites TODAY are either programmed or rendered using MS products. And I backed up my statements with hard facts from independent research agencies and portals....
So in short you claimed that 50%, or half, of all websites "TODAY", run on Windows.
Then, you provided your "Source" (being wikipedia no less,) and said it was the "FACTS".
Your source pointed to a few resources, and they did NOT back up your claim. If anything, they reinforced what others were saying against your argument:
Web servers polled came back as
32.6% Windows.
Last I checked, 1/3rd did not equal half. That's a big difference. (And yet you accuse me of not being able to add up simple numbers.. funny that.)
In fact, the only mention of ""50%"" in the link you provided as "proof" and "FACTS" was in the industry sales stats for all servers sold as collected by IDC, without context to what they are used for (notice it's not "all web servers sold" but just "all server hardware".) And this is only tracking the major branded hardware vendors (like HP, Dell, etc..), it doesn't include companies who build out their own hardware from scratch (that's right, they design the server themselves from the hardware layer up) that runs linux (both Facebook and Google do this extensively for example..) Not to mention it doesn't track servers that came bundled with Windows which were then wiped clean and had other OS' installed.
Now here's the best part: You read the 50% line but you failed to grasp its context and how that "50%" number was irrelevant to your claim about current websites being run by MS products. You went on to assert that the 50% number comes from polling websites online (the method they used to get the 32.6% number from an entirely different citation on Wikipedia.)
Before you go refuting that, remember, you said this:
... that when 10,000,000 servers are polled on a daily basis, that responding servers are obviously not dead. So, if among Windows and Linux servers half servers are identified as Windows Servers and the other half as Linux ones then that in my book is a pretty good estimate of number of windows vs linux servers in the public domain.
And I haven't even gone into detail about how I responded with my own sources that narrowed down the ~1/3rd estimate to a pitiful 12% once you take active vs non-active domains into account... all this post has touched upon so far is just using your own provided "FACTS" and "sources."
So yeah, around this point I gave up trying to talk to you before, and I'm about to do it again. You're not dumb, at least, and I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming you're not functionally illiterate... but you either have the thickest ego possible and can't admit when you're wrong, or you're just trolling and fishing for reactions... Either way I'm pretty disinterested in talking with you further.
