are sold OEM. The vast majority are open license. I can't remember the last time I deployed a server with an OEM license, they all ship from the factory with no OS and we load it with Server 2008 R2 w/ a 2003 R2 32bit guest OS that's included with the 2008 license in case the client needs legacy support.
The only spot Linux can claim to beat Windows on are web servers, but overall servers there is no doubt Windows is in the lead. It's very likely Novell and Unix still have a larger presence than Linux.
