    And here's the advantage of Linux - I can move to another supplier, I'm not locked in.

    I fail to see your logic. Logic would be: "And here's the advantage of PCs - I can move to another OS, I'm not locked in". Moving from one distro to another require just as much of a complete reinstall as would any OSX, windoze, whatever... I'm not an MS fanboy and I know that installing most Linux distros is much easier, but please keep your logic straight -- I'm not a native english speaker so please see if you can control yourselves, gramma nazies ;-)

    I'm not sure you really know what you're asking for..

    Statistics on my company's mail server show around 97.3% spam - so users would get roughly 1000 spams a day.

    ... rival Ericsson, who is the #1 seller of Bluetooth chipsets?
    That is not correct - IRC. Ericsson chipsets have a reputation for lacking features and consuming too much power.
    Again IRC CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) and BroadCom are the leaders in this market, with regards to features and sales volume.
