Linux only has a small percentage of the computing market, however Microsoft already considers it a major competition as the open source OS steals the hearts of many users. Following the hard numbers though, Microsoft also increases its market share on both server and desktop space with time. The only logical explanation is that Linux steals quite a market share from the traditional UNIX providers (SCO, Sun, SGI, HP, IBM). But only Sun seems to truly be in a real Linux trouble, as it is the one with a resistance to Linux integration to its full product range.

Well, I would like to see Apple and SUN merge into one company. No laughing ;-) Just consider this, an Ultra Sparc III processor in an eMac running an OS with a Solaris core and the MacOS X GUI running on top of it. It would be the ultimate nightmare for Microsoft, the combining of a rocksolid UNIX server company with the market savvy cusumer focused culture of Apple.
