When it comes to the major players being able to get the job done, a
lot of major corporations are using Linux.  Is it easy to set up your
home printer? Nope, it is not.  Is it easy to use when you're keeping
track of multi-million dollars of transactions a day? Yes.  Who do
you think is going to get the support/ business?  Hint - NOT the guy
who can't set up his printer.

Free market capitalism is often looked down upon, because it ignores
the "little" guy.  But the little guy will be the first to complain
when his Domino's Pizza is not delivered within 30 minutes!  For
corporations it's the bottom line that matters.

IBM's biggest client for servers running linux?  STW....
