re: The IDC report is only for UNIX server shipments. Rauf, what part don't you understand. See the IDC excerpt below, it is very clear. It tells you it is talking about about the first quarter of 1998 and it is referring to the overall unix market. Your report was referring to 1997. Read it again (if you can). International Data Corp.'s (IDC) first quarter 1998 report on the Unix market found HP (company profile) had overtaken IBM in the midrange Unix server market, defined as servers between $100,000 and $1 million. 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.
