Default Unix Popularity

I've always wondered about this. How popular really is Unix in the server and desktop markets? We know that Unix is still the defacto standard in the enterprise market. Am I right in saying that Unix is about 12% of the desktop market and about 80% of the server market? What about the popularity of each Unix, you know Tru64, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD...I was kind of surprised to see one survey show that Linux held only 12.1% of the server market? I though it might have been more.
