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.

Maybe I'm not in my right mind, but....I think it's just a matter of time. Win2003 is a very good product, and it's plausible(sp?) that the next win server will be even better.
As far as support. Good point. That's the thing...Microsoft will have to get more aggresive and I think that they can and def. will. They have proven to be very crafty and I think it's just a matter of time.
