in 2013, the Linux market looks likely to reach half the revenue value of the Unix server marketOf course, Linux boxes generally cost less than Unix servers, and not all Linux boxes (even production server boxes) are gettng paid support at all, so it's perfectly possible that the number of production Linux servers is higher than the number of production Unix servers at this point. (Are all 'end users' bankers and big server people, though? Depressing, if so: the big iron people have huge amounts of influence as it is. That they want more...)
