I work in a rather big cube farm and the "hall" next to mine is full of a bunch of diehard linux people. The company is switching to windows for their software package due to numerous requests from the clients. That switch is causing a lot of those guys to look for new jobs because they are just that attached to the operating system. That I think is a little silly. I'd personally not mind a linux workstation like what they are provided vs the windows ones we get.
