Your comment is so stupid...
I was about to dismiss it as sarcasm.

>>but with soooooo many companies offering Linux, How did MS's market share grow as large as it did?

I don't know...maybe it's because MS is a twice convicted, illegal, predatory monopoly and only recently(~2000) has Linux gained widespread recongnition and respect from the IT industry. Do you know how hard it is to penetrate into MS territory with all their proprietary protocols, file formats, and all the other BS?

Just like it was in the 80's:
No one ever got fired for buying IBM

its now:
No one ever got fired for buy MS

People have just come to be accustomed to poor quality software but are slowing making the change.

>>You would think that MS server sales would have dropped, not the Red Hat Sever sales.

Moron! Red Hat's latest financial report showed a 70% increase in profit. Red Hat is selling more.


>>Guess most of the people here really don't know what they are talking about.

Hello little boy, why don't you go along and play Counterstrike and leave this discussion for the adults who have a clue.
