Linux Expands Its User Market

TNS EMNID survey in Germany: one out of four computer owners intends to
install Linux operating system at workplace or at home

According to the recent TNS EMNID survey, 56 percent of the interviewed PC
users have heard of Linux, but ten percent already use the alternative
operating system at home or at work. This statistic indicates that, in
terms of distribution, Linux is second largest operating system next to
Windows. Furthermore, 23 percent of the computer users consider switching
to Linux when upgrading their equipment. This information was obtained from
a survey recently conducted by the market research institute TNS EMNID,
Bielefeld.

Stability is a main factor for computer users when deciding to switch to
another operating system. 46 percent of the Linux users consider the
stability of Linux to be an outstanding asset in comparison to only 13
percent of the Windows users regarding stability of Windows. The
interviewees mentioned security and a good price-performance ratio as
additional advantages of Linux. Moreover, even Windows users recognize the
advantages of Linux and associate the factor of "stability" with Linux
rather than with Windows.
