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.

>Many consider Linux as the natural evolution over Unix.
There's no reason to switch to Linux. Personally I think Sun Solaris is more advanced and mature than "toy-operating system" called Linux.
Linux was meant to be just a hobby, nothing serious and that's the way it should be. Leave the hard and demanding work to the big boys.
Thank you, Torvalds. You're not needed anymore. You're done. You can now stop Linux development.
Personally I pred BSD-UNIX: Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD.
