I believe most PHB's would consider the following disadvantagous:
1. It doesn't run MS Windows software (but it sorta does; and some
consider not running MS Windows software an advantage).
2. It was internationally developed (only the NSA and american-centrists are
concerned about this).
3. There are a lot of releases in a year.
4. Support is nebulous and inconsistent. (This just depends on how often and
how much you pay the support organization).
5. It is not widely adopted by the corporate culture. There's no easy way of
telling how widely Linux is deployed.
But the biggest 2 problems, by far, are:
1. I don't have anyone to help me learn it (or: I don't have time to learn
a new OS).
2. It means reloading my OS and learning something new.
Note: The last two are not PHB complaints, but general PC user complaints.
[And if you add "I can't afford the hardware", the above complaints are the
most frequently issued by Mac users facing a move to Windows.]
