I think the customers they have in mind when writing such stuff are ppl
like our parliament in Berlin. Because M$ is quitting support for NT next
year our parliament (Bundestag) had to find new server + client software.
It was an open discussion with a lot of lobbying by M$ and a lot of
Public Letters and a petition named "Tux for the Parliament".
If you would have read some of the comments and questions by some
politicians you would know what kind of customers M$ addresses with their
very carefully designed "information policy".
BTW, they decided to use Linux for servers and WinXP for desktops.
