Red Hat Downgraded, Trouble With JBoss

I found it surprising to read the above tendencies while for instance JBoss products are downloaded by tens of thousands, books around JBoss application server, Seam framework are published in numbers (and not by Red Hat ;) ).

Of course this is no cash figures but in my opinion it shows a very large users and developers base which seams to be greatly underestimated by the above analysis. It is definitely not easy to express open source based market shares.

The company I work at in Health field uses open source softwares for 100% of servers operating system, 75% of desktops operating systems and for nearly all softwares (moved from MS Office suite to OpenOffice) but none of the open source figures have any chance to end in the above analyst hands !
