As much as I hate to say it, it feels like desktop Linux is pretty much stagnant until the release of Novell 10. But the race for server supremacy will heat up with the release of Vista, no question there.

Longhorn is going to face some very tough competition as Microsoft strives to hold off Linux and Solaris on the server front.

Recently, for the first time ever, Microsoft’s server shipment numbers surpassed those of Unix. Soon, however, Microsoft is going to be asking its server customers to switch to Longhorn Server, the next version of its Windows Server, which is due in 2007. Will they switch? Can Unix make a comeback? Can Linux overtake them all?

Those are all good questions. Let’s try them on one at a time. Source: Linux-Watch
