"On the strength of support from such major players as IBM,
Intel and Compaq Computer, Linux is emerging as a major factor in
the server operating system market, moving beyond its core
"ABM"--Anything But Microsoft--market, said Dan Kusnetzky, an
International Data Corporation analyst."
"Still, Linux is nowhere near dominating the market: Currently,
Windows NT accounts for 38.6 percent of the server software market,
with Linux's market share hovering just over 17 percent, according
to IDC."
