The thing is, management often just uses these analyst reports to
justify a decision they've already made (showing due diligence and
all that).  Managers need assurance that they are not investing 
company dollars in an infrastructure that will be unsupported in a 
few years.  With Linux a roaring success in the enterprise there is
now a market for analyst reports predicting that Linux will continue
to be a roaring success.  :)

This makes it particularly encouraging that the professional 
prognosticators are declaring continued expansion of desktop Linux.
That makes it much easier for Big Conservative Company Inc. to go
ahead and roll out that Linux thin client project... 
Hey, IDGartforrester said it was OK after all.

Cheers,

Thad
