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.

Sun is a great company. It angers me when Linux dumbasses badmouth it. Just think of all the things they gave to the open source community. Where would linux be now without Java or OpenOffice.org for example? Let's not forget that even XML was invented by Sun. Back in the midnineties they were there shoulder to shoulder with Netscape, together they had that sun/netscape server and they also had javascript, which now along with xul is at the heart of mozilla.
