    Really, if you want false hope, you could believe what he wrote.

    I do not know a single company standardizing on Linux for desktops.

    It has not happened in the past. Its not happening now. It will not happen in the future.

    Linux costs too much in terms of productivity from the secretary all the way up to programmer.

    The only time I ever saw Linux on a desktop was when someone left a Redhat CD on their desk at work.
