Can you back this up? I've read elsewhere (in the Open Group's position
paper on the trial IIRC) SCO owns more around the 3% of the WHOLE
market, and if you put that alongside what you've just said, that would make:
94% M$/Linux
3% SCO
3% SOLARIS+AIX+IRIX+HPUX+...
Sounds... dubious.
Unless you count up apples and oranges, and compare Sun Enterprise 10K
server installations with little SCO McDonnalds on-site franchise
x86 installations. Which would render this whole thing utterly
meaningless. But then again, you said that :-)
