But there is no cost for most Linux License
I don't understand how the comparision is made between Microsofts growth and Linux growth by comparing the monetary income. The companies that install Linux pretty much pay only for the hardware, some software tweaking, and they keep the rest as profit. Companies that install Windows pay a share to, of course, Microsoft. I'm sure some companies use products like Redhat Enterprise, with a cost, but some are not.
I'm not saying one is growing more or less; Rather

I'm interested in specific numbers of servers.
