In doing quick check of cnnfn today, came across the
following in their lead tech story:
=================================

Linux server sales surging

... , in the server market, where Linux competes with Windows
NT, Linux sales surged 212 percent last year versus a 27.2
percent gain for Windows NT, according to research firm
International Data Corp. The jump gave Linux roughly 17
percent of the market last year, versus almost 36 percent for
Microsoft's NT.
==================================

If correct, the above strike me as some fairly astounding
numbers.  I know Linux was gaining market share, but have
to confess I had no idea it was closing on 50 percent of the
NT server installed base.

Does anyone substantially disagree with the above estimates;
"violently" (Denys ??....     ;-)  ) or otherwise ??.....
