Linux is Running on Almost All of the Top 500 Supercomputers

Beginning in 1993 here is what the world's top 500 supercomputers have run. In the beginning they almost all ran Unix, but Linux has exploded onto the scene and today all but two run Linux. The other two run Unix. Zero run Windows. Zero run Apple OS.

The situation with web servers is almost identical with the vast preponderance of web servers running Linux. These are the choices of the most learned computer users on the planet. Why don't YOU run Linux as your primary operating system?

There's a clear trend here. Hang onto Windows too long and you'll be left in the cold.
