I am still catching up on my holiday reading. I was thumbing through the Processor Magazine (Dec 21, 2007 issue) and stumbled upon this blurb from a Gartner report:
Windows, Linux To Grow In Server Market Share
The Windows and Linux operating systems both gained market share in the data center server market, according to Gartner. This year, Windows has about $19.6 billion of the overall $54 billion server operating system market, Gartner says, with Windows’ share expected to grow to $22.2 billion by 2012. Linux’s market share is expected to grow from its current $8.6 billion this year to about $12.2 billion in 2012. Gartner expects Unix’s share to drop slightly over the same period, from $16.4 billion this year to $16 billion by 2012.
It will be interesting to see how the Unix market responds to this. I think the most notable players, namely Sun, are already trying to get in front of this with OpenSolaris, etc.
