Your analysis makes no sense. The Market is skewed towards people who have been brainwashed into believing that using a NAS to run server software (including SBS) is a good idea. Therefore it should be no surprise that the ratio is 1.6:1 regardless of the Total installed base ratio of Windows:*nix "computers". There is no way you can extrapolate any conclusion about sales volumes from these ratios. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
