Except that Linux is not that much smaller a server base than windows. While its true Windows has a lager base on the server its not by more than 2 times. Linux is anywhere between 15 and 25% of the market, I think windows floats around 40%. Most market share is decided by revenue which of course will mess up the numbers because for every purchased copy of Linux running on a server there are tens dozens of free ones out there.
Whats significant here is the 5th straight year of double digit revenue growth for Linux and a continuing healthy growth in deployments

I wouldn't be particularly suprised if that were the case though.
