I was a sysadmin at a law school. Granted, that was years ago, but your average law professor doesn't have the chops to install and use Linux. That's _average._ There are exceptions. I didn't work with any. They could hardly handle Windows. Hell, some could hardly handle DOS.
I was a sysadmin at a law firm. Again. Your average lawyer doesn't have the chops. Danny is an exception. There are others. I didn't work with any. They could hardly handle Windows.
I'm a network admin in a small department in a huge multinational corporation. The employees here, Todd excepted, don't have the chops to install and use Linux. Most of the employees at my current employer (my immediate coworkers excepted) have a hard enough time with Windows.
I could see in some industrial design shop, or research lab, or other, more technical shops the surreptitious installation of Linux on the Desktop.
But in most businesses? I can't see it. And a well run and organized IT shop should notice a non-'doze host quite quickly.

Friend of mine, who was an SA (Sun, NT, etc) at an Austin tech company, said in response:
