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.

Oh, man....
Is that troll flame-bait or what.
Anyhoo, I believe this article raises some very interesting points. We could debate this forever. However, only time will tell. My prediction is that Linux will take over for Unix and Windows will outlive Linux. Windows has power now and that has a lot to do with their expected success in the sever market. They have the resources to really put out a great product, and I think they will.
I love Linux and the ideal it bring to the OS community, but I use Windows out of nessecity. Except for my web server (which runs Red Hat) I use windows exclusively.
