I disagree with both statements. I found myself as a technical user that knows what he is doing and I do prefer to work Linux on the server side but I cry of frustration using my linux desktop at work. After all these years it still feels like a buggy hobbyist OS, with visual glitches everywhere.
I think the reason why Windows won't dominate the server space anymore is because Linux is free (as a beer) and a good gui doesn't matter too much over there (it is even inconvenient)
