Businesses are turning to Linux en masse as they face massive budget cuts driven by the economic crisis, according to a new report.

When the global economic crisis unfolded last year, Linux advocates were quick to predict the rise of their favorite operating system.

However, these arguments were met by seemingly logical counter-arguments that foresaw otherwise. One of them even went as far as predicting the downfall of open-source projects.

Well, contrasting forecasts like these can be treated in equal footing until the numbers finally come out.

This month, some numbers finally came out and have been basically favouring Linux.

The title is bogus because they only talk about consideration not "use".

They could have condensed that article to say that Novel asked some people if they might look into linux. They said they might.
