"The Linux community was left stunned when Windows Server software outsold Linux in the server market. Gartner, Inc. recently reported that sales of Windows systems accounted for nearly 37 percent of all server revenue in the last quarter while Linux accounted for 31.7 percent. Windows has a 5+ percent lead over Linux, which should be the cause for celebration at Microsoft. Is this the downfall or, as they say, the beginning of the end of Linux? Most definitely not. Before the folks at Redmond rejoice too much, there are some things they need to consider."

for microsoft, ignore it. this person's opening statements were enough for me to stop reading and just glance through it. this dude is completely full of shit. microsoft can't compete with free software and they never will be able to (unless they give their software away for free, and even then it won't be really free). just like commercial software vendors couldn't compete with microsoft (ie. antitrust).
