"George Weiss, Gartner's open-source analyst, recently said that Microsoft Windows will not suffer irreparable damage on the server side at the hands of Linux over the next five years. He's right. Microsoft will fall flat on its face all by itself, and Linux will pick up afterwards. It's very simple."

Virtualization is leading many people to create more OS images on the same number of servers; only a few companies are actually getting rid of servers.
Before: MS sells one Windows license per server.
After: MS sells one Windows license per server.
MS's revenue is probably the same.

No doubt MS is adjusting, I've seen the pricing, but I wonder how they will be able to keep up their revenue expectations if they start allowing you to get four (or unlimited) copies of Windows for the price of one.
