It is interesting that you would say that. Many long-standing businesses, especially in the telecommunications industry...
People hate Linux for a reason. It's cryptic, always in a state of confusion and half baked. Maybe someday Linux, or at least one of the Linuxs might actually be completed but with more distributions entering the channel every day, I doubt it.

WTF did you think would happen when you put Linux in the hands of the users? They objected that's why because Linux as a desktop operating system is crude and sucks. When the users complain, you are thrown out.
It's going to go smooth as silk because Microsoft knows what it is doing and the rag-tag bunch of hippies in charge of Linux don't. They are too busy trying to sign up new members for the Linux cult.
