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 ??..... Ken Sletten
