    Default Windows bumps Unix as top server OS

    Windows narrowly bumped Unix in 2005 to claim the top spot in server sales for the first time, according to a new report from IDC.

    "Windows narrowly bumped Unix in 2005 to claim the top spot in server sales"!
    Not in prevalence on the web. There is no red-blooded, financially-strapped, technologically-reasonable human who going to pay couple 1000 US for something for which there is a free alternative!

    Not to mention that its does a better job that windose anyday as servers. If it aint a desktop software it probably doens't belong on windose.

    ahmm windows beat unix in server sales, but realise windows servers cost more, thousands more. so i dont even know if thats a good thing, as far as numbers go, more unix servers could have been sold than windows, but due to windows share cost, total server sales number for windows is greater. there really is nothing to report here, lol

    Frankly I do not care which one beat the other.

    As long as I have the choice to choose one or the other without much problems where MS gets in my way... or even vice versa (ala SCO)
    Those who do not understand UNIX are doomed to reinvent it poorly.

    This just account for sales of new servers in 2005. It's common knowledge that the number of Linux servers sales are always under-reported, beacuse not many people bother to register their linux server boxes....so my guess is that the number of actual linux server boxes sold should be trippled...
