According to New Report the Market for Linux Products and Services Will Grow
from $2.4 Billion in 2007 to $7.7 Billion in 2012
,----[ qUOTE ]
| Linux service revenues will grow faster than Linux software revenues.
| Services will grow from 77% to 81% of the total Linux market between 2007 and
| 2012, as Linux use becomes more complex. The server market is the main
| segment of the overall Linux market. This segment accounts for 83% of the
| market in 2007. However, by 2012, Linux's importance as a client OS will have
| grown and, as a result, server-based use of Linux software and services will
| reduce to 81% of the overall market.
