With industry analysts declaring Windows Server with more than 60% of the x86 server market

Really? Where are such numbers published?

Yeah, this seems completely made up.

How come?

Actually this may be true, however... what they miss is, that these are mostly enterprise active directory servers which will never run docker.

enterprise active directory servers

That's a small portion of all x86 servers. Statement like "more than 60% of the x86 server market" implies 60% of them all, which sounds very far off.

Its not surprising (except, perhaps, surprisingly low given the prevalence of free competitors) if, as is often the case, market share of X is calculated by ($ spent on X) / ($ spent on X and all competitors to X), and they are measuring x86 server OS license as the relevant market.

That's a rather poor measurement method.

Docker seems to be in great need for a monetizing play. Docker has a great mindshare in open source community but is making very less to none strides in commercial offering (read reaching profitability and keeping investors happy)...thus this PR!
