Linux is great - I use Gentoo. I even used to use Linux solely and used any Win32 apps in a VMware window (printing issues forced me to change back to winXp).
My point was that Linux isn't even a blip on the Business Desktop radar - you can come up with Red Hat or Novell inspired propaganda you like, but the true fact is there just isn't a justifiable reason to develop business applications for Linux. I'd love to be proven wrong. >> I still think Linux is way over hyped, particularly on the >> Business Desktop. >Personally I'd say it's not hyped enough, or at least not in the right >way.
