Penguin Power! (TechWeb)

This article on Tech Web claims that Linux may make it onto corporate desktops by accident. "With so many companies lining up behind Linux enterprise solutions, the top-down theory that the open-source operating system might gain a piece of the corporate desktop market by being a server OS has some merit. Red Hat and UnitedLinux are the two organizations most likely to deliver such a version. But it'll be the big guns of IBM, Sun, Oracle, HP, Dell, and others whose increasingly Linux-based missions could literally push Linux onto the desktop almost as an afterthought."
