Interesting to know what could be the reason. Do you think that one of the reason could be the windows vista gone flop?

In fact MS is pushing customers to Linux, unlike XP, vista allowed to be reloaded once, means if users want to put Vista on more machines, it will be another $400 for each machine, this might be the reason it flopped, I guess.

I see the domination of a MicroSoft through an indirect way. You may agree to the fact that MicroSoft has always tried and in many cases did, to dominate the brands going ahead of MS. Do you something similar over here? Or Linux has gone much ahead that there is no other option left with MS other than growing with it, at least in the world of servers.
