Curiosity is not held captive by secondary or post secondary institutions. What a ridiculous position.

AI will enable the curious to learn at speeds faster than ever before, with less friction than in the past.

Kids lacking curiosity will fail in the same proportions they always have. The gap between the curious and Incurious / apathetic will widen. Sociopaths will still succeed, just because.

They're probably looking at the market in terms of revenue, instead of the number of installed seats.

At about $3.5 million for a 72 processor E25K from Sun, it takes a lot of dual processor Xeon sales to catch up.

According to IDC (http://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS001 53905) the revenue in Q1 2005 was about $4.2 billion each for Unix and Windows servers (the first time Windows has pulled even with Unix), and $1.2 billion for Linux server.

So the Unix and Windows markets in terms of server revenue are each currently about 3.5 times the size of the Linux market (based on Q1 2005).

It's interesting to note that Linux unit shipments increased 31.1% in the quarter compared to 2004. Windows unit shipments increased 10.7% in the same period.
