I believe that Linux and MSFT market share are both increasing and UNIX is slowly eroding away. instead of reading company press releases as your only research, you should actually look at the data..... you need to go to Netcraft.com and look at the Totals for Active Servers Across All Domains chart showing NON MSFT servers accelerating at a raped rate away from MSFT servers on the world wide web...... MSFT is being left in the dust....... they are trying to gain market share by buying non active server companies with large numbers of sites that nobody uses and are nothing more than just names....... that isn't going to get them far when we can see the active server sites..... the real numbers of servers that people are paying for.... jon.

What are you talking about? For all practical purposes, Linux is unix, just as BSD 386 is unix, just as Solaris 386 is unix, and so on. There really isn't any Intel-based hardware that can compete with the higher-end unix machines like HP's Superdome or Sun's 10000, which are pretty much mainframes for all intents and purposes, and what with IBM empowering their older 370 architecture with Linux, there's no reason to believe that the high-end is an area where Windows will get any play at all.
