OSDL Desktop Linux Survey Report

The OSDL Desktop Linux Client Survey is live for you to download. Since I wrote it, I offer a snippet here for your enjoyment. More insight tomorrow.

Top reasons for deploying Linux on the desktop:
1. Employees requesting Linux (user demand)
2. My competitors have successfully deployed Linux
3. TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

Top inhibitors of Linux desktop adoption:
1. Application support
2. Peripheral support
3. End User Training

I did a few interviews on the report already. Check out eWeek's write-up.
