Windows Servers Gain Traction Over Unix | |

Unix' traditional dominance in the server market appears threatened by a surge in Windows' sales, says a server market survey Friday. While global server revenue grew to $12.1 billion in the first quarter of 2005, Unix and Windows server revenue ended the quarter in a statistical tie, each generating about $4.2 billion, said IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker. "What's striking is that Windows overall is gaining so rapidly," said Jean S. Bozman, vice president for enterprise computing at IDC. "From an IT perspective, there is as much spending on Windows as there is on Unix." In previous studies of the server market, IDC had predicted Windows would overtake Unix in the market, but not until 2008. Various flavors of Microsoft's Windows server products are selling well including Windows Server 2003, DataCenter Server, and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, Bozman said. Quarterly revenues for Windows grew 12.3 percent and unit shipments grew 10.7 year over year, IDC said. | ||

| In reality, Windows is ahead of Unix because up to 90% of the Linux servers shipped will end up running a pirated version of Windows. |
