“And 2015 will be the Year of Linux too, right?”

Well my webserver that i maintain is a Linux Apache Mysql Php box and I see absolutely zero reason to go back to Microsoft. My in house software is developed on java, so again see no reason to go back. I can’t afford autocad so i’ve gone to Blender which is supported on Unix. About the only thing I’m still stuck with is Word and Excel and Star Office isn’t so bad i couldn’t swap.

I can’t be the only one in this boat. Add up all the licenses and it is a bundle I’ve saved. Microsoft Buggy Whip Corporation.

Are you using Blender for CAD? I didn’t know that was possible.

I'll give two:
MySQL
PHP

Of course there's better DB & language options on Linux as well: FireBird and Ada come to mind.
