Re: my opinion - APW

Thank you APW for your opinion as I agree with mostly all of it.

What the article does not cover is hardware, Dell/Linux is a much cheaper alternitave to Sun/Solaris. For this reason Linux is going to erode at Suns market share from the bottom up.

We all love BSD but it won't be making much progress.

AMD and Intel are already moving into the server market, but they are going to make huge inroads when the 64 bit desktop becomes a reality.

Think 64 bit Xeon.

For this reason and improvements in Windows Server, I also believe MS is in a strong position if they don't mess up.

Summary: Linux and Windows on Intel and AMD.
