Market Directions

 Market bifurcation in the near term (2005-2006)
 – Business Computer Market continue to migrate to Windows Servers
 2003 from UNIX & Mainframes (HE Computers >$250K ASP)
 – High Performance Computing (15% of market now to grow rapidly)
 initially the domain of Linux
 HPC will embrace Business Computing (2006-08)
 – Over time some applications such as Wall Street Financial
 OLAP/DSS, Health/Bioinformatics will migrate towards Business
 Computing
 Linux will take market share from Unix vs. Windows
 because of the similarities between between Linux & UNIX
 before it has any discernible impact on Windows 2003
