Hi all,

Time again for some voting and to recapture one of the most popular polls ever on this forum: What operating system (OS) are you using mostly?. We did this poll first 4 yours ago so it would be interesting to see how the numbers have involved since then. I have added/removed choice options as appropriate.

Note: this poll is about the OS your Baan server is running on, not about your client or desktop OS. You can choose multiple options if you have more than one server and different OS'.

Hi Pat,

although (thank heavens) I didn't need it any longer, the option 'other unix' should be added.

Splendid idea to have this poll again.

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

I added the option. I would say the first very preliminary but pleasant surprise are the Linux numbers :)

Hi

It is Unix 11i UX and Windows 2000

Hi Pat,

yes, this is good news. Since there were no new linux-specific discussions on the board lately, I assumed that not many people were seriously planing to change their OS.
What a joy to see that I was utterly wrong.

regards

Norbert

It is better to use SUN Solaris.

I was wondering why you didn't split Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server. It would appear that everyone treats the two like Baan IVc4 runs exactly the same on both.

As far as I know the jump from W2K to W2003 is nowhere near as dramatic as from NT to W2K. But then again: I am not a Windows expert :)

*bump*

Anymore votes?

It would be nice to see this.

Thanks

Feel free to start one of your own :)

I just want to know whether windows is better then that of Unix or not.

That's like lighting a match in a powder room.

Unix is better. as usual. ;)

Yea - opinion only portion: Unix is better. Windows is fine though for smaller implementations, and much cheaper :)

Also, it's a bit scewed - if you combine windows implementations: 2000, 2003, and not the UNIX ones to get a full picture of UNIX vs. MS. If you combine the Unix numbers up there, Unix is by far beating out MS.

Voted. But might be unfair, since I'm not actively using Baan at this stage. ;)

Pat, would it be possible to create a two-dimensional poll? O/S and database combination?

Hey Nico,

Don't think so. The max options for any poll is 20 and that would not be enough to cover all OS-DB possibilities.

It's been a few years since I paid attention to a poll like this.

Just a few years ago it was 50% HP, 30% SunOS, 15% AIX and 5% NT.

Now it looks like we actually have a majority of Windows and Linux environments and big UNIX is loosing turf fast.
I'll have to assume that this is representative for the 'outside world' as well.

Shocking...interesting...amazing.

GO LINUX!
