From the full article:

"SOURCE: Microsoft Corp."

Gee, look at the source. You aren't presenting this as an unbiased market share report, are you?

Basically, the article says nothing. 60% of the financial institutions in the UK have at least one NT server installed... so what? No doubt more than that have at least one NetWare server installed. It doesn't give any information about relative market share, revenues, how the OS is being used (departmental file server?, application server?, web server?, enterprise network operating system?).

There are lies, damn lies, and marketing statistics. Do any "intelligent" investors make their investment decisions based on this kind of fluff?
