Microsoft increases server market share

Microsoft's share of new server operating OS shipments grew from just under 42% in 2000 to nearly 49% in 2001, according to IDC research reported by InfoWorld. That's pretty impressive considering Microsoft started with 0%, way behind Unix et al. (For what it is worth, my opinion is that GNU/Linux will overtake Windows eventually, in the server market. But I'm not going to claim that's true until it is.)
