In servers that actually do significant server tasks, I think Unix still dominates (especially if you count Linux as a Unix variant). There are a lot of machines out there that are classified as servers but that do rather insignificant tasks; often they are X86 machines, and many probably run NT. It's a lot like print servers of the past -- that functionality now comes in a little wall-wart powered box, or is integrated into the printer. I doubt anybody would dedicate a Sun to serving a printer any more (unless it was one heck of a printer), but once upon a time that was not unusual. All JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)
