IDC7月2日公布了对1997年操作系统市场的调查结果,统计数据表明:微软公司的Windows NT Server操作系统在装机量上压过了Novell公司的Netware和各种各样的Unix变种;而Unix系统在销售额上依然保持着遥遥领先的优势,并牢牢地占据着高端应用市场。 IDC的软件分析员说:“从趋势上来看,WindowsNT Server和Netware的销售势头强劲,而Unix的增长步伐也没有停止。然而预计Unix将在很长的一段时间内,在中等规模及高端应用市场上有更快的发展。”换句话说,Unix的销售额将继续增长,而且在高端应用市场将继续扮演主要角色。同时,其变种的数目将逐渐减少并趋于统一。 NT在工作组及部门级应用上有望独占鳌头,其低价位和易安装的特性对用户很有吸引力。然而,NT迄今为止还没有走出部门级以外的应用领域,微软正在试图加强其定位于大型的服务器操作系统的企业版NT。此外,Windows NT 5.0将凭借其对多处理器的支持和大规模的集群技术在可伸缩性上一举突破限制。令人遗憾的是,NT5.0的发布日期一拖再拖,现在看来,它的面市不会早于1999年上半年。
IDC July 2 released a survey of the operating system market in 1997, the statistics show that: Microsoft’s Windows NT Server operating system installed capacity over the Novell Netware and a variety of Unix variants; and Unix The system still maintains the leading advantage in sales, and firmly occupy the high-end application market. IDC software analysts said: "From a trend point of view, WindowsNT Server and Netware sales momentum, and the growth of Unix has not stopped.However, Unix is expected to be a very long period of time, in the medium-sized and high-end applications market In other words, Unix sales will continue to grow, and will continue to play a major role in the high-end market. At the same time, the number of variants will gradually decrease and tend to unify. NT is expected to dominate the workgroup and departmental applications, its low-cost and easy to install features attractive to users. However, NT has so far not been out of departmental applications, and Microsoft is trying to beef up its Enterprise NT, which targets large server operating systems. In addition, Windows NT 5.0 will break limits on scalability with its multi-processor support and massive clustering technology. Regrettably, the release date of NT5.0 has been delayed, and it seems that it will not be available as early as the first half of 1999.
