  Microsoft's sleeping giant
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Linux gets a good share of the headlines, but Windows server software is grabbing a good share of the dough.

In reporting its second-quarter financial results Thursday, Microsoft said revenue at its Server and Tools division, which caters to business customers, grew 18 percent year over year. Licenses sales of Windows server, which competes head-to-head with open-source software Linux and other server operating systems, grew 17 percent year over year. Despite the threat posed by open-source products, Microsoft server software sales have been growing at double-digit rates for several quarters. Meanwhile, revenue from its current cash cows--its Windows desktop and Office products--have been flat or growing in the single digits, analysts noted.
