IDC and Gartner are both placing Windows servers at about the same revenue as Unix servers -- but there are ten times as many x86 and x64 servers sold on a volume basis. On a units basis, Microsoft gets a license on about 7 out of every 10 servers sold.
I was not surprised by these market reports. My field research says it continues to be an absolutely brutal market, with fierce price competition on even deals under $5,000.
