It seems likely, however, that the OSes that do fit those requirements will
grow out of existing platforms.
What we should be trying to see happen is for those solutions to be built
upon a strong foundation and targetted toward usability. The opposite
approach (which is gaining market share nearly as fast as Linux) is to be
avoided.
BTW, "will result" is a small misstatement. These have always been
business' needs, and that's why Microsoft uses 14 AS/400s to drive their
business instead of a boatload of NT servers.
(The "14" figure is a few months old, and may be incorrect by now.)
