Re: Most students now learn to program on PCs. Would be more accurate if you stated it "most students are forced to learn to program on PCs." A great many students [unknown qty] find their way quietly and sometimes secretly to the highly productive Mac environment to use Code Warrior. HerbVic

I think one has to look more carefully at the survey results these conclusions are based on. For example, sales of NT server software does not exactly match the marketplace of Unix server workstations. I think NT is more likely displacing alot of systems that formerly were running network server OS like Novell. It makes perfect sense for NT to displace Novell services. But I don't think there is a large share of NT servers being purchased as replacements for Unix systems yet. Keep in mind that Unix systems are seldom used as simple file servers. And also keep in mind that sales of Unix is growing at the same time.
