This seems to be a sensitive question for some people, particularly at Sun Microsystems. While IBM stated this week they had increased their market share over last year's, Sun also had its own press release this week claiming that it is the number one Unix platform server vendor in the world, in both revenue and unit shipments. It turns out they are both right.

"Solaris has shipped 2 million licenses in the first six months of this year.
AIX + HP-UX, in combination, was WAY WAY less.
Sun's winning the Unix (I didn't say Linux) game, by a long shot."
There's a saying around here, that IBM has always been great at hunting elephants, but they've never understood how to hunt rabbits. Our profit margins are way higher, but market share is a different story.
Other than that, HP has its head firmly planted inside its ass.
