Site your source please because most can be a lot...
every large corporate business I've worked was Windoze. Linux is big on the net and IMO, not even the best platform using the NIX kernel (Apple does as well) but... it's not so big in the corporate headquarters of companies that can actually pay for their software. As deepsand mentions apache is being challenged by IIS.

As someone who has programmed Perl on both platforms I'd say you are wrong, in fact the Windoze Active Perl package is easier to maintain and version than the NIX. Windoze Perl can not fork a process that is the only difference. By the way PHP is not a NIX specific programming language so... if you learn Perl and PHP you are covered on both platforms but... there is not a lot of support for Perl or PHP by Windoze administartors.

I taught myself in about three weeks.
