I worked in a distribution center (read: warehouse) one summer during college and I can assure you that a great many companies would be more than willing to stop wasting money on Windows boxes that they only use to look at inventories and print invoices and labels. While distribution systems and the supply chain are often overlooked by consumers, I can assure you most business people are well aware of the costs associated with them and Just-In-Time has only caused the number of bar code labels used to grow exponentially. So while most of you may think this is boring (which it is to be honest), you shouldn't mock a utility that will allow more enterprises to go away from Windows and proprietary software even if its only a few machines at a time.
