I believe your inference that the revenue growth of Microsoft indicates their server strength is flawed. Microsoft plays in too many markets unrelated to servers for this to hold.
The comparison of revenue growth is also taken from two different time periods; this is not fair. You also fail to specify Microsoft's revenue growth in dollars. I don't have the figures but the 18 percent growth you quoted would be billions of dollars. Should I then believe they are selling more servers?
I cannot believe interest in Linux on the server is sagging and the knowledge that Red Hat is growing stronger is encouraging. However, the comparison between Red Hat and Microsoft presented in this article is flawed.
