"Recent preannouncements from Compaq, Gateway and Micron, as well as speculation about Microsoft's earnings have caused investors to look elsewhere for signs of slowdown," Mattson said. "From what we can tell, most of the Microsoft-related weakness appears to be concentrated in the desktop arena, with vendors reporting relatively strong sales of both NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 servers. Fueling server growth is e-business, the re-centralization of some applications and Microsoft's drive into more business-critical market segments. We believe a key beneficiary of this trend will be NetIQ as Microsoft itself identified NetIQ products as the `preferred' way to manage its platforms."
