To be more accurate, we were discussing the idea put forth by maddog
that people will start using Linux on the desktop in numbers only
after they start using it at work.   The latter will happen only after
businesses can use Linux to meet their business needs on the desktop.
This is only recently becoming a reality, and as a result you ARE
starting to see this happen.  But it will not happen overnight...
