Take a little longer view. Page 17 and 18 of the slides for this quarter's presentation plot Sun's market share for Unix and for all servers in both shipment and revenue terms. Compare Sun's market share in 1996 with 2002 -- a period throughout which doomsayers have been predicting their demise. I've read approximate numbers for Sun's share from the graphs: 1996 2002 Unix Revenue 14 33 Shipments 14 44 All OS Revenue 5 13 Shipments 3 7 Where's the much-ballyhooed decline in market share?
