Comment on: US tech rules the European market
I read the definition of "rely on" here as production outage, not operations.For example: Say you use gmail and excel at work. If Gmail is down, your Windows PC crashed, or Excel does not own, the product (machines, websites, etc) do not stop working straight away. The specific term is unattended production hot path.The 75% is already reasonably high when most production/industrial stuff runs on Linux or embedded derivatives. This shows the level of unattended production hot path on US tech.
