Summary: IT funds may be short, but The Linux Foundation has found that 
companies are still investing in Linux for cloud computing, "Big Data," 
and greenfield deployments.

Linux has found a home for itself in the office.

Will your business move to Windows 8 server 
<http://www.zdnet.com/topics/windows+8+server>? Will your office support 
iPads for work 
<http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/apples-ios-cited-as-the-most-popular-mobile-os-for-enterprise/67243>? 
I don't know. I do know that chances are your enterprise is very likely 
to increase its use of Linux.

According to new report by The Linux Foundation 
<http://www.linuxfoundation.org>, the nonprofit organization dedicated 
to accelerating the growth of Linux, "Linux Adoption Trends 2012: A 
Survey of Enterprise End Users 
<http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/linux-foundation/linux-adoption-trends-end-user-report-2012>," 
in a lousy IT economy Linux is still growing by leaps and bounds.
