This isn't the first time, that has happened either. Customers get significant benefits if they agree to become part of any such studies. Some of them migrate to Linux partially and won't tell that publicly because they would lose the benefits that the other vendor offers them. Others dont want to because it might invite legal trouble such as the competition sending threatening letters about unspecific patents. Some other customers don't want to because they consider their use of Linux as a competitive advantage and don't want others in the industry to know about it and adopt a similar strategy. If you are curious, it is easy enough to search specific names in such campaigns in your favourite search engine and to know the real facts.
