I dunno, but I can say that there are at least four servers (out of about
10) in my company that are now running Linux or FreeBSD.   Previously
those servers were running Windows, and are still "counted" as
running Windows because the Linux and FreeBSD were obtained via free
downloads.

I have to wonder how many other companies there are "out there"
with similar "conversions"?   And how can any ANALyst tell?
