I used Linux at work and it does some jobs extremely well, but I get paid on taking care of Windoze problems..
People just don't get it, just like the dotcom bubble.. I spend a lot of time troubleshooting large enterprise problems and most of them are mix bag of Unix/Windows/Linux platforms and the problems are infrastracture and design related with the OS hardly the problem. All these geek wannabees say "you need linux." Got linux and it is doing "a" job not going to fix the common "IT infrastructure and design" problems.
It is not a solution to the IT industry, I repeat. Linux is not a solution. It is merely just a tool, another OS, the company has enough $$ to burn and they can careless about the Free software. They want solutions to large problems and this is where the big boys that we paid big bucks to come in and give us a solution.
One solution provider came in with a Linux geek trying to sell me linux solutions and told me what linux's advantage over windows is, I told them to get out. We've already established that and we don't need jokers who are still playing with linux because it is free and it is cool.
The reason the dotcom bombed is because a lot of people with no experience and no idea what the internet is about came aboard and they offered the same thing Linux offered.. the words.. "FREE FREE FREE!"
Guess what, I got the free goodies but can it fix my problems? No, you gotta do it yourself and go to this website and post your problem and wait for a resident linux guru to answer your problems..
