Windows NT server sales boom A Salomon Smith Barney report released today says follwoing ====== The company's September Server and Enterprise Hardware and PC Hardware Quarterly says Windows NT systems will garner 21 per cent market growth - the second largest gain - in the period from 1999 to 2004, earning Microsoft $US31.79 billion. The gains by Linux and NT come at the expense of operating systems including OS/390 and NetWare, which are expected to see a 5 per cent and 11 per cent decline in revenue growth respectively for the same period. The report says the revenues earned by Unix, which is tipped to reap $US41.58 billion by 2004, is expected to grow by 8 per cent, while the revenues of OS/400 will remain relatively flat with a 1 per cent rise to $US2.85 billion in the same period. Salomon Smith Barney predicts that Unix will increase its slice of the worldwide operating system market from last year's 45.3 per cent to 46.1 per cent in 2004. Windows NT should increase its hold from last year's 19.4 per cent of the total market to 35.3 per cent in 2004, while Linux will increase its share from last year's figure of 1.3 per cent to 3.8 per cent, the report says. \| go to top \|
