Would you care to back up your claims about the large numbers of Linux
(corporate) desktops with some statistics?  There are a few examples
out there where Linux is being used on the desktop (and more talking
about adopting it), but in general I think that it's still mainly on
the server end.  Email servers, file servers, and firewalls are
probably some of the more-easily replaceable aspects of corporate IT
infrastructure.
