Skeeter Bug, MB was just a tad exaggerating the IDC figures, but his memory is pretty good. Here's the link.

idc.com

See two 1/18/99 releases for Server market data.
See a 1/11/99 release for Disk Storage System data

Looks to me like the server market slowed to 8% growth, from 42% and 50% the previous two years, but DELL grew at a whopping 76%.

And the storage system market grew at 11.9%, its best rate in 5 years.
And DELL,
"Dell raised its position in 1998 to join the billion dollar storage club with 3.4% share and $946 million in worldwide revenues. Dell's
shipments consist almost entirely of Windows NT (2000) and NOS, the two operating environments for which IDC expects the
highest growth rate in disk storage systems from 1998-2002."
