Rauf, can you post that again? I don't think everyone has seen it yet. BTW, I thought you might like these stories as well. Sequent Bests Sun in High-End Server Unit Shipments On Strength of NUMA-Q 2000, According to IDC (BusinessWire) Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. was second only to Hewlett Packard in worldwide unit shipments for high-end servers in 1997, according to recently released data from International Data Corporation. - Aug 04 9:00 AM EDT biz.yahoo.com HP Takes Market-Share Lead in Overall and Midrange Worldwide UNIX System Servers, Based On First-Quarter Factory Revenues (BusinessWire) Hewlett-Packard Company today announced that it has secured the leadership position in the worldwide overall UNIX(R) system server market. HP continues to eclipse IBM and Sun in the worldwide midrange UNIX system server market. - Aug 04 4:27 PM EDT biz.yahoo.com BTW, what you posted was a Sun press release, not "the complete IDC report" as you suggest. Besides, market share for Q1 '98 is a little more relevant than for 1997. What's more, Sun is talking units while HWP is talking dollars. So your "stupid management team" simply picked different "bits and bytes" from an older report. Perhaps, if you post it again, it will become meaningful. Glad we could "get it straight". Bob

Get it straight. SUN is the leader in HP. Oh, thats real clear. The report indicates HP is the leader in the overall Unix market. Sun is the leader in the Unix Server market. You do know the difference between a workstation and a server? The 24 percent market share helped HP overcome Sun's lead on the very high- and very low-end of the Unix market to give HP 23 percent of the overall Unix market in the first quarter, compared to Sun's 21 percent and IBM's 16 percent.
