Personally, I think it kicks ass on desktops, too, but a lot of people<br>
disagree with me there. That said the biggest argument I actually hear<br>
for Windows workstations is software applications. That is eventually<br>
going to become a non-issue and I expect that when it does (and no, I'm<br>
not sure when it will be; I certainly won't claim that this year, next<br>
year, or the year after that will be the "year of Linux on the desktop",<br>
because I don't think it'll happen quite like that) that things will<br>
change. People will eventually start to gravitate to systems that<br>
require less and less maintenance, for example.<br>
