Linux no match for Microsoft in Thailand

The growth of Linux on desktop PCs is not as strong as expected here due to lower prices for licensed software and a lack of strong government support for open source software, according to a study.

Truehits.net, a Web site that collects statistics on operating-system usage in Thailand, states that the Linux operating system has only a 0.13% stake in the operating-system market, up from 0.08% last year.

Microsoft Windows 98 still leads the field with 45.9% but is in decline, followed by Windows XP at 44.04%. Windows XP is expected to take over Windows 98 in the next few months.
