CTO of a company that uses Linux.

Perhaps the CTO of Barclays should chat with the CTO of Burlington? It seems that companies who actually "use" Linux have a view that couters his:

"So Burlington Coat Factory is now deploying about 7,000 Linux-based clients, according to Prince."

Note "clients" not "servers"

and what about supporting them?

"We have more people supporting a handful of Windows users than roughly 7,000 Linux systems," Prince said. He added that the Linux systems "just sit there and don't break. They run and run and run. People can't mess them up. They don't get messed up on their own. Unless there's a hardware problem, we almost never have to do anything with them."

Should of asked people in the industry that actually "use" Linux and not the Microsoft salesman. ;-)
