Re: Perfectly understandable
You look to not know what enterprise-scale software means. It's not the number of core supported (and you may be surprised by the number of cores Windows actually support).
Nor the Linux server in your bedroom, nor the many server clones offering a web server for $9.99 are enterprise-scale software.
It's being able to orchestrate and control many thousands of users and the many different applications and tasks they need to perform.
Even Unix, stubbornly still rooted in the mainframe mindset of the '70s, never understood the needs of actual much broader LANs. And you see it from the many sysadmin who actually have no clue how to design a network for the XXI century, and stick to designs forty years too old. The fear of learning and updating their skills is what is keeping IT in those designs.
Unluckily, the low price of Linux made too many believe it is a good OS. It's just a clone of a bad OS forty years too old.
