Microsoft Nick McGrath, Microsoft's head of platform strategy, is at the spearhead of the software giant's attempts to head off the open source danger. Having helped launched both NT4 and XP into the UK, the 15-year Microsoft veteran now concentrates on combating the threat posed by organisations migrating to Linux. But, with an almost mockingly dismissive opinion of the opportunities brought about by Linux, McGrath is insistent that Microsoft is not losing ground. Instead he claims that Microsoft is winning key corporate and public sector deals on the critical battlegrounds of cost and security.

That's because the larger share you get, the less there is left to grow in.
Growth cant continute forever, you know.


Sure, assuming that the market is saturated. But it clearly isn't, so your reasoning doesn't hold.

Saturated or not is not the point. A market has a limit and the closer to that limit you get the smaller your growth will be.

Is it your opinion that we are at a flat period in server sales?
