General Unix 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.

I pretty much lost all respect for Sun. I do not know if any of you watched the Sun Webcast with Scott McNealy and Larry Ellison, but in it Scott takes several cheap shots at Linux and even feeds some of SCO's press. I like Sun products but Scott is becoming another antagonist. In my opinion people need to STFU until SCO decides to make available any evidence to substantiate their claims. Because IF SCO is lying and just doing this to cause FUD then several people will be eating their words.
