I think you would be surprised, to us Linux is about choice -- the the
"public" linux is about cheap. To the business world it is stability on
the cheap.

Also, I know few companies that are switching to Linux because it is
better. They switch to Linux because of TCO.

We may feel/know that it is better, but in the business world it is
the pennies that matter... If they don't have to buy a license, they
won't.
