Excellent! I'm happy to be proven wrong. Boy, it'd sure help those of us in the corporate world trying to do the same thing if they'd do more to show their interest in it. All of their advertising is server based and as far as I know their services side doesn't do linux on the desktop for their customers at all yet (which was more my point than whether they are pushing it internally).
