IDC: Windows Servers grow market share
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft grew its share of shipments in the server operating environment market in 2001 by seven percentage points even as the overall market declined by about one percent, according to market researchers at IDC. Windows servers accounted for nearly 49 percent of server operating environment shipments in 2001, compared with almost 42 percent in 2000. Al Gillen, research director for IDC's system software research, attributed Microsoft's growth to Microsoft's licensing programs and customer migrations from Windows NT to Windows 2000.
