Hi Bob

I think even 1% would be an overestimate ;-) Figures I've seen only give
Linux around 1% of the desktop market anyway and I reckon this will be
lower in the business world. Mind you, now that even Sun has joined the
Linux party (as much to keep up with IBM I suspect) I think Linux
desktop usage figures may grow more quickly.

Regards, Martin
