I'm sure Linux is fine and dandy if you have a spare week or two to set
it up and get it running properly, but most people just don't have that
sort of time. Add to that the killer blow that it 'doesn't run MS
Office' and the whole deal is done, I'm afraid.

I dislike MS and use their products seldom if ever, but I've been around
this business long enough to know that the 'Unix is just around the
corner' cry comes up about every three years or so, and this is just
another example of it.
