   There is no denying that Linux owns the server market. Neither Windows   
   nor Mac OS can deliver the kind of advantages a mere Linux server can.   
   Nevertheless, Microsoft seems to be the one making the most money using   
   a Linux server software through Azure.   
      
   The time has come to admit that Linux will probably never be the default   
   operating system on most of our computers. Nevertheless, Linux will   
   likely have the greatest _influence_ over our computers going forward   
   since its developers have traditionally been better at trying new things   
   and taking risks.
