Study sponsored by Microsoft, hardly likely to be impartial...

A five year study covering Windows 2000 and we are in 2002,
how long are Microsoft's years?

They have five catagories

Network infrastructure: Where do you get either Microsoft
or Linux branded faceplates, cat-5 cable, patch leads, etc?

File serving

Print serving: I've never seen a study which separated the
two before.

Security applications: could mean anything.

Web serving

They then put percentages on these, but without the
methodology being explained in detail these have no
meaning what so ever.
