The new 1st quarter 2010 International Information Corp. numbers are out for that worldwide server marketplace. Based on the market researcher, Windows Server is nonetheless the runaway leader, with regards to running program unit shipments, and in addition still in first location when it comes to revenues in comparison to Unix and Linux.In Q1 2010, Windows Server was set up on seventy five.three percent of the servers offered globally. Linux was on 20.8 % with the servers and Unix on only 3.six %. Each Windows Server and Linux grew in share from Q4 2009 to Q1 2010; Unix declined somewhat.Around the income facet of the house, Windows Server-based systems brought in 48.9 % of the bucks globally, IDC said. Unix was No. two with 22 percent and Linux, third, with 16.2 %. As within the case of models, Unix-based techniques misplaced share among Q4 2009 and Q1 2010.Here are IDC;s latest figures, as well as the equivalent IDC data for Q4 2009. Notice the percentages don;t complete a hundred. That is mainly because IDC includes an unspecified “other” category that is not included here.Q1 2010 unitsWindows 1,379,487 (seventy five.3%)

Quarterly revenue of $5.1 billion for Windows servers represented 48.9% of overall quarterly factory revenue. This is the highest percentage of server hardware income that Windows servers have ever represented.Unix servers experienced 29.0% income decline when in contrast to 1Q09 as customers waited for additional detail on the Sun-Oracle server roadmap. They were also anticipating a ramp of IBM POWER7 servers, which began shipping in Q1, and, separately,
Microsoft Office Professional 2010, HP Integrity servers according to Intel Itanium 9300 processors that were announced in April. Globally Unix revenues were $2.three billion for your quarter, representing 22.2% of quarterly server spending (down 10.5 points over 1Q09). Microsoft is expected to deliver a 1st beta of Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack (SP) 1 — and, by extension,
Windows 7 SP1 — any time now. I wouldn;t be surprised to see the Softies announce and/or deliver that beta next week, in conjunction with all the company;s Tech Ed conference. Even though Microsoft has been advising IT admins not to wait for SP1 to move to Windows Server 2008 R2, a number of organizations nevertheless insist on waiting for SP1 before moving to a new version of Windows.Microsoft officials stated earlier this year that
Windows 7 SP1 would be a conglomeration of bug fixes and updates,
Office Standard 2010 Key, and would not include any new features. About the server facet, SP1 will include two new virtualiztion features,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus, Microsoft officials have mentioned.These new features include a new graphics acceleration platform,
Windows 7 Pro, known as RemoteFX, that's determined by desktop-remoting technology that Microsoft obtained in 2008 when it acquired Calista Technologies. There also will be a new addition to Hyper-V that will dynamically adjust memory of a guest virtual machine on demand.
