I've been keeping track of WebSphere's public growth figures. The WebSphere division competes vs. the JBoss product set. I think you'll agree that our growth has been well above the market and growing at such a rate from a base of several hundreds of millions is much more difficult than growing from a much smaller revenue base.
I do work at IBM (in the WebSphere division), so maybe I'm biased, but the financial results are difficult to argue with.
