Windows Finally Beats Unix, But Linux Is Coming on Strong

Well, it finally happened.

After years of "Unix is sick," "Unix is dying" and "Unix is dead" headlines, Windows, according to IDC, has finally overtaken Unix as the No. 1 pre-installed server operating system.

This may come as a surprise to some people, who've assumed that Windows has been No. 1 for quite some time. Nope. Windows has been No. 2 on servers for ages.
