Both

But in the server market, M$ lost the battle a long tome ago.
99% of all web hosting companies use Linux or FreeBSD as their server platforms. Only in the desktop market, M$ is still strong, and I don't see that changing in a long time.
Also, the embedded market is getting stronger with Linux, and it won't be long before most appliances will also be running some stripped versions of Linux. WinCE lost there too

As for Pocket PCs, there's a big battle between PALM and PocketPC. Probably M$ will win there too, as we already see smartphones using some versions of M$.
On the long run, Linux should enter that territory, and take over that market too.
It's all a matter of time
