Description

This IDC study reviews the growth of the Windows Server product family during 2007 and provides a shipment and installed base forecast through 2012 for the Windows SOE products. This document considers the continued adoption of Windows Server 2003 and the growing uptake of Windows Server 2008 starting this year.

"Windows Server 2008 presents both a disruption and a tremendous opportunity for existing Windows customers," said Al Gillen, research VP, System Software at IDC. "Given the enormous size of the Windows Server 2003 installed base, we expect that uptake for Windows Server 2008 will get underway slowly, with growth accelerating through 2008, especially after the Microsoft Hyper-V technology enters the market."
