 The numbers, released Tuesday, show the continuation of a trend 
 toward servers based on commodity, or "x86," microprocessors from 
 Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. They often run the freely
 distributed Linux operating system.

 [...]

 High-end servers based on non-x86 chips that run the Unix operating
 system saw shipments fall 5.3 percent with just a 0.5 percent increase
 in revenue, Hewitt said.

 "The replacement at the low end of this market with Linux servers 
 and declines at the high end of the market are the reasons for 
 these results," he (Jeffrey Hewitt) said.

Believe it or not, Windows is not even mentioned in this report.
