Windows Servers sales beat Unix

According to Server Tracker as reported at CNet, Windows Servers accounted for $17.7 billion in sales over 2005, while Unix servers accounted for $17.5 billion.

Linux server sales were third at $5.3 billion.

While these figures mean that Microsoft now leads the server market, this shouldn’t be confused with server use – according to Netcraft, Linux servers on the internet still account for over 60% of use, with Windows servers at less than half that figure.
