No rubber suits though. your kick Microsoft to the curb reference pretty much assumes an inability to manage a network of Windows computers with no regard to the users needs. I am no fan of Microsoft but I am neither a fan of Apple, Adobe, Intuit etc. either. I think that Linux as a desktop is still a bit short of what you can get on the desktop on other 'proprietary' OS's and as long as businesses are willing to pay for the licenses and there is no mitigating factor for wholesale change to something that is perceptibly less usable to them, they won't go for it.
