Just for the sake of argument...
Countless corporations and research organizations do not use Linux.
They use Enterprise Linux. Big difference.
They use a Linux which is supported by a credible organization (RedHat, HP, IBM, Oracle and a *few* more). That leaves more than 99% of distros out.
I am talking about "corporate/enterprise servers" strictly. I (and Oracle) couldn't care less about the desktop.
