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.

Not to mention the improvements that are in in the upcoming 2.6 kernel which will easily keep Linux ahead of Windows.
I really hope so, MS server 2003 is a good heavy work and cluster computing operating system. The current Linux kernel can't really hill itself like the 2003 server from MS. Not to mention MS server network balancing technology, it's really paying off and will be looked for in future heavy computing solutions, I'm not talking about intranet/web servers but about scientific computing.
Why doesn't the community realize that the fun stuff is a have a desktop OS which is fun to use, experiment with and make it into what people want to use.
Keep dreaming ... while they release the next incomplete, unfinished, unpolished, buggy and inconsistent GNOME desktop. Huugh. (Better buy a QT License and develop an application on KDE).
