Get real, even according to the best case scenario in your foreign rag, here in 5 years you'll still be looking up at a 2 to 1 Windows advantage on servers, and nowhere close on the desktop.

I'm sorry you'll have to show me where I said Linux was going to take the desktop or the server market from Microsoft...

As for doubting Oracle I *never* see you question a stat which is favorable to MS even if MS sponsored it but I do have some circumstantial evidence "Red Hat announced a 37% jump in revenue for its fourth quarter compared to the same quarter last year, and an increase of 42% for the whole year ended Feb. 28." Here

You *still* wont answer the question:

"To be fair, isn't measuring rate of growth sort of misleading when it comes comparing large bases to smaller bases? "

37% jump in revenue

Yes, rates of growth for something that is tiny to begin with often makes it very misleading.
