This is for our colo facility in Houston. Customers are mostly small to mid sized companies and most of the servers handle mail or back end stuff with web interfaces. Our experience is similar to that of many other local hosting firms - retails is Windows territory, but in the corporate arena MS is now clearly the second choice. To be fair to Windows, Linux has got about half of its gains from Solaris/HPUX share, which is now under 2%. Hope this helps explain why those figures come out the way they do.
