Hmmm, though I get your point if I were a CIO with Windows on every 
desk I'd have to wonder how persuasive the argument that one niche 
desktop platform has over taken another niche desktop platform would 
actually be. Lets face it, Linux desktops outgrowing Mac's is "Dog 
bites man". Linux Desktops outgrowing Windows desktops, now that's "Man 
bites dog".
