this is an awesome article - love the part about the tiny linux 10% and the large undecided 15%.
this kind of crap goes on everyday - and the itmanagers (or so called) believe it and take it to heart.
I hated Info-tech magazine when I got a free subscription to it just for these very reasons.
I never trust what I read anymore about this subject. I actually try things before I buy and you know what linux has won everytime.
First off I can see the code without any strings attached. - No phone home code - Secondly - I can make it do anything I want. File server, firewall, print server, authentication server, backup server, qos router, desktop, warehouse dumb terminal, we even have barcode scanners and wifi routers (linksys wrt54g) - I can on and on - and it doesn't cost me one cent of license fees, no EULA's, no NDA's - just pay for the hardware.
awesome

Mirosoft and Apple - be very afraid!
