Description

This IDC study reviews the growth of the worldwide client and server operating environment market during 2007 and provides a shipment and installed base forecast through 2012.

"The big story for the overall client and server operating environment markets is not about unit growth and primary copy market share, but rather around dynamics such as the level of virtualization adoption and the role nonpaid copies play in the overall ecosystem," said Al Gillen, research vice president, System Software at IDC. "Watch carefully as vendors increasingly move to monetize their installed base in different ways beyond the fee-per-copy model that has long been the standard in the operating systems marketplace."
