Microsoft Attacks, By and With the Numbers
,----[ Quote ]
| There are two things that are worth noting
| about the figures that the Microsoft post
| quoted. First, that it bothered to include
| them alongside all the other sectors where
| Microsoft is under pressure. This is a clear
| indication that the company is feeling the
| heat from GNU/Linux in the server market: you
| don't bother defending yourself unless you're
| under attack.
|
| But what's more telling is that Microsoft
| couldn't find any better figures to make its
| case. As Arthur rightly points out, the way
| they were gathered seriously undercounts the
| true usage of GNU/Linux. The fact that
| despite that distortion GNU/Linux still has
| pretty decent numbers â 21% is hardly shabby
| â means that the real market shares in terms
| of real-world deployments will be much worse
| for Microsoft. Hence the attack.

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
