Much love to the friend who sent this in. I don’t know if this chart is for real but I must say it does fit with my own less-than-scientific research into the Linux community.
Rapid growth in Linux

The Linux community has been growing for the last decade…
That trend has been in play for all Americans over the past ten years, not just Linux geeks.
and those are just the women’s sizes…
I love faddah more than I love real dan lyons
Love you Faddah! I just miss the other guys!
Agreed. I love me some Faddah.
are we talking users or developers?
Uh, there are some XXL Apple users out there, too, ya know.
In both 1999 and 2008.

Linux is taking over the server side. Unfortunately, this has come more at the expense of traditional Unix (RIP Sun Micro) than Microsoft. There is just an army of MSCE support people out there that are hell bent on propping up Microsoft NT Server despite the advantages of Linux in scalability, security, resiliency, cost of ownership, and general coolness.
One fine day some company, maybe IBM or Red Hat, is going to create a Linux based thin-client for businesses that takes hold and that will be the downfall of Microsoft Windows. Everyone is hand wringing about what to do with Exchange-Outlook and MS Office. Stop using them. The guys in the math department tell me that free is less than $199 per user for Windows or $499 for a copy of MS Office.
