In our 4-man company 4 notebooks and one desktop run Linux. All of them are bought from Dell
with Windows pre-installed. Here in Norway that was the only option to get the hardware with a
business level of support. So that counts as 5 Windows sales and 0 Linux :( .

In the longer term that might not be as bad as you think it might be.  Certainly the most
public and even the technologically inclined might believe the penetration of Linux (and other
OSs) is less than reality.  Nonetheless, once such real numbers are recognized the opposition
would be blind sided.  Thus, I say let them live in fear and spread their FUD, because one day
they will be living a nightmare.
