Factory revenues for Windows servers and Unix servers were "essentially equal" in IDC's market share report for the third quarter, marking a potential turning point for the Windows server market.

"Quarterly revenue of $3.9 billion for Windows servers represented 33.9 percent of overall factory revenue, essentially equal in size to the Unix market," IDC said in a statement.
