All you need to do to know where MS server sales really are is to go to the monthly market share data published by Netcraft. Don't kid yourself. MS hasn't moved that ball off of their 20 yard line (20% market share) in the year the W2K server has been on the market, and doesn't appear likely to (move beyond that stall) in the *next year. It's a very serious problem for them. But, good luck with that. -JCJ

Woundup Win2k server - 1m sales and still going, er, slow Looks like some more MSFT hogwash has hit the streets. Does MSFT really believe that people are that dumb to believe their frabricated PR stories? "Back at Dataquest we see that "Intel server architectures have been hit the hardest by the market slowdown," with just 1 per cent overall growth in Europe. Internationally Compaq and Dell alone managed convincing year on year growth (20 and 41 per cent respectively), so at least they will have shifted a reasonable quantity of Win2k servers, but the real winner was Sun, with a 104 per cent increase in shipments in Europe, and 72.4 per cent globally. Happy birthday Win2k server - must try harder. " theregister.co.uk
