Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester's recent survey of IT executives at Global 2,000 companies clearly shows that firms are not replacing distributed Windows servers with Linux on a broad scale. Instead, we learnt that the ongoing adoption of Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory are the key drivers for companies' continuing investment in Windows server infrastructure. It is this tight link between the email system and the directory that keeps many companies from even considering the leap to an all-Linux environment. The strongest areas of growth for Linux in distributed environments are going to be Web servers and file and print services.
