tgp,

You're looking at it from the wrong direction. Iff the Opteron servers are as good as they seem to be they'll quickly take 40% of the X86 server market. Please note that over 50% of the web server market is now running Linux/Apache.

That's a market where INTC makes much of it's BUCKS and one where MS can't continue to lose market share.


From what I read, all of the market share that Linux gained was from weak Unix competitors. As far as web servers out there, the beginning of competition did not have Microsoft at 100% and Linux at 0%. It was more like Microsoft at 0%, Unix at 100%, Linux at 0%. But with most of them (except Solaris) out of the way, it will look more like a 2-way fight between Microsoft and Linux from now on.
