Industry sources predicted in 1992 (

)
that NT would capture 37 percent of the market for operating systems by 1996, with all Unix versions combined capturing only 7 percent.

middle figure
), NT had obtained only 1 percent of the OS market, even less than Unix's 2-percent share.
That doesn't stop predictions that by 1999 (
bottom figure
) Windows NT will have 41 percent of the market, while Unix is projected to have 2 percent.
