Red Hat: We have 15 percent of the OS market
Red Hat claims to have 15 percent of the OS market, but since they cite Microsoft's share as 49 percent, I think it's fair to say they mean "server market share"; RH believes it will own about 27 percent of the market by 2006. It's interesting to compare this to Microsoft's figures. As I wrote in Windows & .NET Magazine UPDATE earlier this week, "Windows and Linux are the only server platforms that will grow market share over the next year. Currently, Windows Server owns 53.1 percent of the server market, compared with 16.7 percent for Linux. Next year, the mix will be roughly 53.7 percent to 19.2 percent--in Windows' favor. Windows Server sales grew 7.7 percent in fiscal year 2003, compared with 19.2 percent for Linux."
