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

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
real companies.

Uh huh. My largest client is an enormous and profitable investment and
business bank with 2000 employees, and I am very friendly with the
corporate IT department. No one is running LINUX on desktops. None of my
other clients are, either. A couple run the LINUX server apps.

Now we have unionized bankers. What next?

BTW - Harry has no clients. It's narcissism.
