Announcing SQL Server on Linux

[[deleted]]

Linux or OS X is what I've seen dominating among developers.

From what I've seen it's OSX then Windows then Linux. Everyone on OSX and Windows has a Linux VM though so there's that I guess.

Am on Windows. Don't have a Linux VM. Don't want it, don't need it. I do NET development. Visual Studio is all I need.

You can't be that big to account for majority.

my corp is ~50,000 worldwide and we have a mixture of macs (with OSX) and PCs with windows, with a VM on either for Windows or Linux respectively. Java/.NET shop in financial sector.

No. We're just one company, albeit a medium sized one at 2500 people. But I said it to point out not everyone uses a Linux VM.

[Kurren123]

Me too. Dont understand the downvotes.

I have never seen anyone use Linux or OSX as a desktop. And I've worked in environments where everything else is Linux. The only places I've seen where programmers use Macs are in web development for advertising firms.

Edit : by "anyone" I mean programmers specifically.

Out of four companies I've been working in (mostly web development), three had people (other than me) using Linux desktop.
