There currently is a combination of MS Windows desktop and server operating systems in use. However, Microsoft Corporation has been standardizing on MS Windows 10 and 11 versions.
The trend is towards mixed co-existance and integration with Android and Apple platform mobile device operating system platforms. The MS Windows 10/11 operating system also is the foundation to the integration of its MS Phone and tablet - Surface platform and its Azure cloud platform. The MS SharePoint Server stack platform is central to the Microsoft platform strategy - networking, scripting, and application development. With infrastructure and back office operations, the assumption is that commodity hardware will be important in determining the distribution of server market share: proprietary MS Windows servers, open source Linux-variants, and commercial UNIX-driven processors. A significant trend is the increased scale-out to Wintel server hardware from proprietary scale-up servers. In addition to their proprietary hardware and UNIX operating systems, IBM and Hewlett-Packard provide financing and technical support to the Linux foundation as part of increasing their utilization of Linux kernel. In response to this competition, Microsoft has become more accomodating to open source software - both utilization of Linux-variants with its Azure cloud platform and acquisition of GitHub. |
