If you pursue a realistic indicator, come to consider the fact the Linux is
the fastest growing server, in terms of sales. Moreover, most of the world's
comminication servers run a flavour of *NIX. Despite a Windows domination
(or monopoly) on the desktop, Windows was never able to penetrate the server
markets (unless you gauge it by costs for overpriced server solutions).
