WinNetMag | at | by Mike
A new report by market researchers at International Data Corporation (IDC) says that unit shipments of machines based on Microsoft's server versions of Windows were up 21.7 percent in the most recent quarter, compared to the previous year, thanks to the release of Windows Server 2003. Likewise, the Windows server market grew almost 12 percent, year-over-year, the company says. IDC's figures are based on hardware sales, and the company noted that the report does not track Microsoft's earnings from Windows Server 2003 licenses.
