in addition, most x86 linux servers come with a licensed copy of some form
of windows. i know of several linux servers (let's say around 20) that
came with nt licenses.
essentially "sales of nt" vs. "sales of redhat/suse/turbolinux/etc" will
only tell you how many systems were sold. it will give no info on how
many are used.
