If all that was so true I don't think they would be putting so much time/money into proving it's not. All this does is validate that they are scared and gives a nice to-do list that is categorized and everything.
I'd like to see NT perform better on the P75 firewall/file/http/ftp server I have in my room.

Exactly, the Helpdesk I work at supports ~650 users all running Win95 or NT(a few DOS stragglers) and 85% of them are clueless. If the icon is not on the desktop the software is not installed, if something takes longer than 3 seconds over the network something is broken, etc.
If the users here are anything like the rest in th corporate world(and I'm guessing they are), Linux can be on their desktop as soon as it does:
A) Icons on the desktop/menu for everything B) The "smart" users should be able to make their own shortcuts and change their display properties. C) When they login Important directories on file servers should be mounted(mapped) automagically w/o a password prompt. D) They should have a filemanager that lets them fuck up their files in their mounted directories easily. E) They need to be able to browse directories on servers(Network Neighborhood)
From what I see on the Linux desktop most of this is already doable easily, in fact now that I think about it, with proper app support(Outlook mainly) I think I could slip a Linux desktop infront of some of our regular users and have them be able to use it fairly easily.
And I walk too much at my job too, the only thing I try over the phone is "did you reboot?"
