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.

Do you really believe MS is gaining more market share? Don't make me laugh. I see many people with WinNT 4.0 thinking about Linux that have never even heard of Win2k3.
Also, I see many people going from Windows to Linux while I have never seen anyone going to Windows.
