I will certainly agree that Linux can be used as a business desktop in a limited set of cases. However, that doesn't mean it's really ready when someone says "a business desktop." There are still a lot of applications in very widespread use that can't run on Linux, or at least not well. This is especially true for CRM, accounting, and financial applications.
