Ubuntu is just like Windows: a sub-standard "me-too" product.

Why go Ubuntu when there is RHEL and SLED?

Why don't you say:

"4% of Enterprises deploying Ubuntu Server"

For a young and small company like Canonical this sounds quite a success.

I would bet the figure is more like 20-30%, when you include non-production systems -- but senior IT guys don't realize it. Perhaps the headline should be: "CIOs totally unaware of the software they use"?
