Quoting:In the past year, something really significant happened in the server space. For the first time ever, Windows Server is the number one server product shipping globally in the market, according to IDC. That’s a big statement. The fundamental question is why. It’s not because we have better marketing. It’s because we have created a lot of value in that product.


I thought it was because products that don't cost anything don't "ship".

SFN - How Dare You! You misunderstood completely. It's right there in the text, this is not their claiming this fact, it's IDC and the conclusion is unmistakeable: it's based on price. So they have the highest shipping charges or simply charges for their product, either way it is pure profit.

Don't you want to say you voted with your (or your company's) cash for a winner? If not you are just another whiner - go away now.
