Linux is ideal for a large company because it lets them tailor an operating system and application software release level to their needs and then to incrementally upgrade it as needs arise, instead of waiting years for the next Windows release and the administration hell that it brings. There is no registry to screw the administrator up like Windows has. Allan didn't mention Applixware, an MS Office equivalent product. It may not have all the bloated features that Office has, but who needs them anyway. Microsoft must sell new "products" every year to make money, whether they serve a purpose or not. Linux, being a "free" effort, doesn't have this constraint.
