I beg to differ. The latest issue of AIArchitect (American Institute of Architects magazine) has recommended that anyone performing extensive calculations (read: CAD-CAM software - what architects use computers for) switch to Linux. Businesses are learning!
Because all sorts of CAD software like AutoCAD runs on Linux.... Or not. Well at least Pro Engineer does. Sarcasim aside what sorts of mainstream CAD software runs on Linux now?
Look at GIS as well. About the only commercial GIS software available for Linux is TNT Mips, which is a great product but definitely not the industry standard. ESRI Products like Arc View, Arc Info, and Arc GIS which comprise the bulk of GIS products are primarily Windows products these days. No Linux. You can purchase a clipped version of Arc View for a few Unix systems and Arc Info is still supported on a few as well. Map Info doesn't run on Linux or Unix. AutoMap doesn't run on non windows platforms either.
