Computer makers sold $17.7 billion worth of Windows servers worldwide in 2005 compared with $17.5 billion in Unix servers, IDC analyst Matthew Eastwood said of the firm's latest Server Tracker market share report. "It's the first time Unix was not top overall since before the Tracker started in 1996."
And in another first, fast-growing Linux took third place, bumping machines with IBM's mainframe operating system, z/OS. Linux server sales grew from $4.3 billion in 2004 to $5.3 billion in 2005, while mainframes dropped from $5.7 billion to $4.8 billion over the same period, Eastwood said.
Yes, but that's not valid in this case. Unix and Linux compete directly against one another. Eventually, IMHO Linux will also beat Unix, but that's a ways off.mr_luc said:But that's splitting the Unix market, when they're both *nix family products. Linux + Unix > Windows.
Meh, they're for different things. The various nix's are specialized around specific things; NetBSD I use for all kinds of net-appliance stuff, FreeBSD is the host's delight, OpenBSD is the security pro's RealDoll. Linux is for overarching quality and capability on any box you throw it on.KnightWolf said:Yes, but that's not valid in this case. Unix and Linux compete directly against one another.
