Seems fair. You are defining "server" in a way that is completely different from how the IT industry defines server. Makes sense.

You are looking at web servers, not enterprise. I'm gonna guess you've never worked in enterprise IT. No one in enterprise IT would ever buy that 96.3% of enterprise servers run Linux. It's not even close to that.

I am well aware. Not sure what your point is.

My dude, I would bet every penny in my retirement that Linux on the desktop will never replace Windows in my lifetime.

> Windows will die and Linux will takeover, same way it went for everything outside the desktop space,
Except this didn't happen. Windows still runs well over 40% of servers with Rhel taking the lion's share of the rest and various other OSes like AIX, Solaris, etc.... running the rest. Windows continues to run 75% or so of desktops in the enterprise market as well. The ability to centrally manage and secure tons of desktops is something that Linux based desktops just don't really have.

Reply to comment by TheToastIsBlue in TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933.

> What the FUUUUCK are you talking about? Who said they invented Santa clause?
You don't realize what thread you're in do you?

Coke says they didn't invent Santa. You say we should not believe them when they say that.

You're saying that Coke did indeed invent the modern Santa Claus despite them saying they didn't. What evidence do you have to support this claim?

And what I learned in my "mass shooter prevention" class at work is they make great weapons. You can swing them as blunt object. You can spray them in someone's face and it's always disorienting and you can spray them on the floor to make the floor extremely slippery.

I'm an American and had never ever heard of it. If it's a tradition it's not a big one or it's regional one or the other.

You work in software. I work in enterprise IT. You have no clue what you're talking about. The server industry is dominated by Windows. Walk into any company on the planet and I 100% guarantee you they have an AD environment. I guarantee you the vast majority of computers you will find in their offices are Windows boxes connected to that AD environment. Their email is going to be run by Exchange most likely. So you've got at least two Windows clusters right there. The applications they run probably also live on a Windows server somewhere and all of this is probably sitting on top of VMWare. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about if you think you can walk into a data center and 96% of the servers there are running Linux. That's delusional.
