Yes. On a server MS Windows is insignificant. Who want's
to or needs to run GUI multimedia progams. As far as
the workstations they've addressed it with WABI, an
imperfect soultion. I belive WABI is being replaced
with an add on card with a x86 chip on it. Way back
before MS Windows we had a Sun workstation with a DOS
based x86 card in it as part of a database evaluation.
