Survey - Windows losing ground to Linux

Microsoft's Windows platform is losing traction with application developers in North America, according to a survey by Evans Data - Just 64.8 percent targeted the platform as opposed to 74 percent in 2006.

Other findings include: JavaScript is the most widely used scripting language (Ruby usage is expected to increase by 50 percent within the coming year), a third of developers surveyed are writing applications that support virtualisation with 42.5 percent expected to adopt it within the next year.
