I can't think of one compelling reason to use LINUX on a corporate

Security and the small footprint of a dedicated business suite.
That is the reason why IBM uses it on the servers.
Windoze has become a bloated hog mostly aimed at the consumer market.

Harry is a "home office" IT expert, he has no idea what happens within

corporate IT department. No one is running LINUX on desktops. None of my
other clients are, either. A couple run the LINUX server apps.
