    The funny thing is that their server is probably running on Linux.

        Lol what? Linux servers are still dominant in market share.

          Pearson directly, not globally.

            That makes more sense. Thank you for the context.

        That is both laughably wrong, and immediately verifiable as false. As far as server marketshare goes, Linux leads the pack with 62.7%.

        Windows has a laughable market share when it comes to webservers.

            Nearly all of my daughters sites she visited in college were nix servers. The exception being one administration machine she used for her payroll access as a RA.

              By “nix” do you actually mean Nix, or do you mean “*nix” as any Unix derivative?

            For closed and proprietary stuff, and things that still run on FORTRAN and COBOL, yes. But about anything running a web frontend, it’s Linux (RHEL).

            Well, AIX (one of IBMs UNIX variants) is old, and, AFAIK more or less legacy stuff. The other is RHEL, which is s Linux.
