If Unix isn't dying, why is SCO?

| Incidentally, IBM tops all Unix vendors in a recent preference survey.

It is possible that some services (workload) move from Windows desktops onto
Linux servers. Or it could be just overall growth. The key point to make
here is that Linux invades Windows space and it isn't merely a UNIX
replacement, which is what Microsoft would like us to believe. It's a
convenient excuse in arguing that Windows servers are superior to Linux
servers and Linux is a 'consolation prize'.
