Question about survey question design.

[randomness]

Does this question make any sense?

Which of the following server environments does your organization use today?

Intel/Microsoft Windows Server
Intel/Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Intel/Other
Oracle SPARC/Solaris
IBM mainframe
IBM POWER/AIX
Cisco UCS
Other
None of the above
Don't Know

In particular, does it make sense to have both "Other" and "None of the above" as options, particularly with "Other" as one of the above?

On second reading, I suppose "None of the above" might be intended to mean "Our organization don't use a server environment", but wouldn't it be clearer just to say that? Particularly since one of the previous questions was about whether the respondent's job included interactions with server environments?

I"m not sure where "in the cloud" would work but that might qualify as your "Other" situation. It's certainly the answer to the question in my case.

Sure, but if you have an "Other" why have a "None of the above", particularly *below* "Other"? It's at least redundant, and more confusing if not redundant.
