No, now you're talking in marketing nonsense. Market share is NOT the number of seats sold, it is the number of seats in USE. And that, my friend, can only be ascertained from the trenches; not from your Excel spreadsheet. Or are you fogetting that a significant number of Sql Server licenses were free or bundled?
