86% say no to .NET/Web Parts

November 12, 2008

Survey Shows Open Source Users May Use Windows but want Java

Previous surveys have shown that community members tend to evaluate on a Windows laptop and in deployment turn to a Linux server. This survey continued the trend with 64% of users preferring to evaluate on Windows.

The Open Source Barometer III shows that 71% of members use or intend to use Java as their architecture.

Java has for a long time been strong in the open source community. However, the analysis further segmented the Windows-only users and found that 86% do not use or intend to use .NET/Web Parts and 53% want a Java architecture. A logical conclusion to this is open source users want an open stack, even on Windows.
